Gridfinity 1x1 Capricorn PTFE Cutter Holder

Gridfinity 1x1 Capricorn PTFE Cutter Holder

A compact storage solution designed for Capricorn PTFE tube cutters, compatible with the Gridfinity modular storage system.

This design features a single-unit (1x1) Gridfinity base measuring 42x42mm. The holder consists of a two-stage interior cavity: an upper section perfectly sized for the cutter's head, and a deeper recess for the handle portion. The walls are chamfered at 15 degrees for easy tool access.

The total height is 38.8mm (Gridfinity 5U), balancing accessibility with stability. The body includes the standard Gridfinity base pattern, ensuring solid connection to Gridfinity baseplates while maintaining the system's modularity.
