My nephew uses a Bambu printer. This is the one I have.

They do work on both sizes, yes. and very well too. 

I find that the trick is to push the tool down hard onto the lid so that it doesn't slip.

During a pleasant trip to Edinburgh today, I popped into Wonderland and bought Albion Alloys BT1 M Round Brass Tube x 4, 1mm x 0.25mm, 302mm Length.

I received this today



Bought online through an advert I saw on Facebook. I am quite happy with it, as on the right side of the blade, there is a ruler to set the length of your cut, with a variable angle on the left side to set the angle you wish to cut at.

That cutter looks nice. What kind of blades does it use? Generic single sided blades or a fancy special blade?

Generic Stanley blade type. It also came with a small pack of spares.

That's great! Some choppers (like the Dspiae chopper) are solidly built out of metal, but have custom blades that cost a good fraction of the chopper's price.

Who is the vendor for that chopper?  I keep meaning to upgrade the blade on my Northwest Shortline unit...

This is the link to the item

Hope that helps.

Huh! 

Norton says it may be a fake web site and I can't reach it for 24 hrs.

Ruddy cheek!

You saw the photo of the item which I ordered two weeks ago, but it does appear to be a not very well-known site.
