Foam Core V Groove Cutter #3DThursday #3DPrinting

Foam core V groove cutter Express yourself Demonstration or Protest sign Maker Foamcore foam board by kmatch98 Thingiverse

Quickly craft a handle for your signs. Shared by kmatch98 on Thingiverse:

This is a 120 degree V-groove cutter for foamcore board (foam board, foam core). Design is included in Fusion 360, for you to remix with the tolerance you require.

Using this 120 degree V-groove cutting tool, you can make triangular shapes out of foamcore. As a triangle is the strongest shape, it is useful for making strong tubes such as for a handle for a sign.

To enable one to better express one’s self, and to prevent arm strain in the process, it’s useful to hold your message up high with a stick. In some cities, such as NYC, demonstrators are prohibited from using wooden sticks to hold up signs. Using this cutter, you can make relatively strong (and safe) triangular tubes using foamcore to serve as a suitable sign holder. Starting with a 20×30 inch sheet of foamcore, you can make a handle and still have enough real estate to share your message.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!


Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!

Join us every Wednesday night at 8pm ET for Ask an Engineer!
