***STL part file units are in inches!!***
These are two slight mods to idig3d's filament sharpener. I printed their design and it worked 'ok' but I couldn't get a good tip on my filament. I realized this was due to the blade being too close to the filament which is probably just a result of print tolerances.
I tweaked the file so that the hole for the filament was more to-size (will probably require drilling out after print) and so that it was moved away from the blade so it was better able to cut the filament. I made two versions: one has a +0.0075" spacing from the blade and the other has a +0.015" spacing from the blade. These numbers are based on what the original file was.
For me, the +0.0075" design works the best and gives a great point on the filament. The +0.015" is too aggressive but at least there are now 3 versions you can try.
