So I was able to get the cad files from the good folks at micro swiss for their microswiss ng ender 3 edition. I also found a step file for a generic filament slicer. How easy would it be for me to somehow combine the two? I am okay at cad. But this seems like an undertaking, unless there’s an easy way to do it. Has anyone done something like this before? The closest I’ve found was someone made one for the microswiss ng ender 5 edition, but I haven’t been able to get a hold of the creator.
I’m a bit confused by the wording of this post? Is the problem that you have two .stl files that you want to edit and munge together into a new object? If that’s the case, then as @[email protected] you can import them both into openscad, subtract what you don’t need or intersect what you do and place them into a new part for export. You can also do this in prusa slic3r if openscad is being buggy which it sometimes is with stl imports, but it’s a massive pain in the arse
So the filament cutter was remixed from this:

The link to it is here:

The first link I sent you is someone who has combined another microswiss ng hotend with the filament cutter base, and since microswiss gave me the step file for the ender 3 version, I was wondering if this was an absolute undertaking, or if it’s not as complicated as I think
If you’d like to take a look at the microswiss step file DM me and I’ll send it
