yeah - basically any fdm printer can do either type.
Without changing the nozzle - the standard fdm bead width is 0.4mm.
So if you assume that the minimum edge width is around 0.5mm, you won't go far wrong.
You can use a smaller diameter nozzle for a finer edge, 0.25mm is about the most sensible small size to go down to.
But bear in mind an edge that thin would be quite fragile. I don' think you'd need to go finer than 0.5 mm.
Though I suppose that would depend on how intricate the designs you wanted to make into cutters are.
Personally I wouldn't touch an ender 3 with a barge pole taped to another barge pole held by a man with really long arms. But that's the result of spoending over three years trying to sort out the many hundreds of people who come to this forum with ender 3 issues.
So for an actual recommended machine - what is your maximum budget ?
And what's the largest cutter you are likely to want to make ?
And as gambo says - creating a cutting edge that tapers is pretty simple.Last edited by curious aardvark; 02-17-2021 at 01:42 PM.
