Summary

This is a Remix of the Cap for Cutters by Profi550 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5454654

Originally I wanted to add some knurling to the cap so I could remove it easier. However, this lead down a path to a complete redesign.

My goal of this redesign was to have a semi-tight fitting cap that would hold the cutters completely closed or very close to that. I also moved the flex join because after a few days the original cap started to expand and would not hold the cutters completely closed. This may have been due to my filament choice of PLA.

The Ender 3 cutters appear to be very similar in design to the Xuron Micro-Shear but I have not tested this.

NOTES:
The STL files were exported using the highest settings possible.

The Parasolid .X_T files are included for easier modifications or remixes.

I had to use a brim for the Klein and Ender 3 Cutters and a raft for the Xuron Maxi-Shear
