I wanted an adapter which allows me fixing a drag-knife to my MPCNC without taking the spindle out.

I wanted an adapter which allows me fixing a drag-knife to my MPCNC without taking the spindle out.
The drag-knife adapter allows the blade to move in the vertical direction a few millimeters. Put a little sponge inside the adapter before inserting the blade, this has a spring effect which forces the blade down but is not as rigid as something fixed, it gives the knife some flexibility so it is not damaged when put in place by the z-Axis.
The drag-knife I use is for the standard Silhouette desktop cutters (https://www.amazon.de/Silhouette-America-SILH-BLADE-PREM-hobbyplotter-Schneideplotter/dp/B00YU7T7NU/ref=sr\_1\_2?keywords=silhouette+premium+blade+3+pack&linkCode=gs3&qid=1582548532&s=kitchen&sr=1-2)
Update 16.Mär.2020: A modified version can be fixed directly to an AMB Spindel, this improves the riggedness. Instead of the sponge I use a spring in this version
