Update 2: Added multiple width files! print in 4mm, 6mm, or 8mm (or even 2mm but i havent tested this skinny yet)
Update 1: Added a slot to put in a PET plastic protector. Just cut a piece of plastic from the bottle part you chopped off and slide it in to stop the bottles from cutting into the 3D print. Print with the longest part facing down. Currently Hacking on this at www.2022.dinacon.org
There's lots of simple designs for using a razor and a jig to turn plastic bottles into strings, but they can be finicky with grooved bottles, or bottles that are slightly thicker.
This motorized version lets you cut through thick bottles like HDPE easily! full design here free https://a360.co/3NPn15b
this design pops right on to a WORX WX081L 4V ZipSnip Cordless Electric Scissors
