Low-cost Handheld Microtome
------------------------
This is a microtome which is typically used for shaving very thin lays of a specimen for microscopy in pathology and similar fields. I made two different versions of microtomes. One has a place to put a washer if you so feel like it. Another doesn't. The plug is an optional print as it is not 100% required but I included it just in case someone wanted to have something with more surface area pushing on the specimen.
All of the required material that you will need for this build will be located in the "post-printing" section. Also, I recommend that you print the top so the wide part is on the print bed. This is to ensure a very flat surface for the razor.
