Simple BOTTLE CUTTER jig
Description
*** UPDATE: *** After 3D printing the required components, I had some issues inserting the cutting tool so I made a newer version that should work much better and also require less material. "Type 2" is the OLD version of the jig assembly and is colored magenta. The NEW version is named "Type 3" and is colored cyan. I haven't actually printed the newest version of the bottle cutting jig because I got the old version to work, so there might be some issues. That said I still recommend the newest version over the old design. __________________________________________________________________________ I've seen other bottles cutting jigs on this platform but they all appeared too overly complicated, so I decided to make my own. This jig uses a cheap glass cutter tool to score a strait line around a 55.5mm diameter glass wine bottle (Other size bottles may be cut as well but might require different size bolts and/or wheels). To design this assembly, I made sure to used very few hardware components and four 20x20 gantry wheels, commonly used on extrude aluminum beams (typically found on 3D printers) to make a 3-point cutting jig. The jig requires two piece to be manufactured: a "Top" and "Base" piece. They can easily be made using a 3D printer or CNC machine. I designed this jig using Solidworks 2024 and included all the assembly components to design and modify the parts if desired. I placed all the parts inside a single zip file. After you put the groove on the bottle you can easily apply heat and cold to make the bottle crack along the line.
