Recycling materials by the efforts of each individual is a great thing. One of the efficient ways of recycling is recreation of PET bottles in to 3D printing filament. Amount of such machines design grows. I am waiting for some hardware to build my own variation. And while I am waiting I decide to create my version of PET bottle cutter.
After 3 full iterations and even more intermediate designs that were rejected at the CAD stage, I achieved an effective result.

Now there is a boom in CNC technologies, but I keep manual version of Sherline lathes and milling machine for studying fundamental processes and for hobby reasons. The biggest frustration when working on manual machines comes when you need to do repetitive manual interaction, in particular - turning the damn hand-wheels. Some time ago I thought that this problem was an exaggeration. Oh how wrong I was. When you have to make many long distance passes, calluses appear over time and your hands begin to fall off. I know that this is a problem not only with miniature watchmaker machines, but also with bigger tabletop machines and even huge workshop giant machines.
I have seen how people solve this problem by making special screwdriver adapters to turn the hand-wheels with them. And I decided to design my version, but with the possibility of unification for the needs of others.
Here's what I got. Open full article for more information.
