That looks pretty cool David. Yes PTFE will definitely finish that off nicely. Just wondering how much infill you use on these printed cutters? I will probably have a go at making my own version too. I may well try Basscor's idea of the 4 bearings to keep the needle totally straight. Took delivery of a big stash of piano wire today so got lots to play with
Thanks, Dave. I use 30% infill, 3 perimeters, and 3 top/bottom layers. Jason's parametric needle cutter (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1723915) will give a basic cutter body -- I increased the "back height" to 50 mm -- and then added the sideboard mount in Tinkercad. -- David
