.....When you get time, curious minds would like to see a picture of your hot wire cutter.
Hot wire cutters are very simple, cheap and easy to make. Use whatever materials you have on hand, scrap wood, leftover PVC pipe, etc. Here are a few of mine, I have various size for the task needed. Lightweight frames are the best, very little strength is needed. The smaller frame is the one I use most often, it’s just stiff wire stuck into an scrap board. I added an on off switch for convince.
You can experiment with steel wire from the hardware store. There is no substitute for nichrome wire, it’s hands down the best. The site below has a great selection of wire and transformers, both in various sizes. Also has the calculators to help you pick the size for your needs. I use 26 gauge for cutting straight things like wings. Use 16 gauge for molding shapes, like crown molding or servo pockets. Bend the wire into whatever profile you want and cut away.
I use 12v & 5v transformers with a simple light dimmer switch to control the heat. I also use the same dimmer on my cheap hot glue gun. Full power at first to get it hot, then dial it back to about 60% to keep the glue from boiling.
