Reddit mentions: The best deburring cutters

I know this might just be another tool you don't have access too, but These seemed to work the best for cleaning up the edges. Go slow, and use a drill press if possible so its completely vertical. Good Luck!

I am mostly recommending tools rather than consumables (like a truck load of filaments :P)

A digital caliper, use it every single day, must have. A $20 Chinese made should be more than sufficient for the tolerance we are printing at.

A pair of good quality side cutter. Prusa printers don’t come with them.

A Noga deburring tool. Very useful for finishing a print and trim sharp edges (brims for example). Cuts plastic like butter.

A set of taps. Can’t get very strong thread in plastic, but often good enough. I would prefer a metric set.

A vise. Depends on how much space you have. I use a drill press vise and I find it ok so far.

I believe this is a reversible tool holder by NOGA, about $40 on Amazon.

This comes from a video by my mechanics on youtube, they are AMAZING restoration videos without all the trash littering most of youtube these days - no voiceover, just satisfying, meditative restoration with exemplary attention to detail. Please go check him out.

A deburring tool is absolutely the best for that. Use the smaller, sharp blade it's made for plastic. Keep in mind it only works in one direction, holding in your right hand pulling towards you, and it does a perfect job of cleaning up those edges. If you do it the other way, it will cut way too deep. Since the blade swivels it's perfect for cleaning up screw holes, too.

In addition to the Xacto knife, I'd also recommend a deburring tool. It's great for removing elephant's foot or putting a small chamfer around the edge of parts that have to fit together.

The "micro cutter" in the other post can also be found under the names of diags, dikes/dykes, or diagonal cutters.

Outside of the things others have mentioned (springs, tubing, couplers, SKR, BMG, etc.) - if you don't already have some good tools/spare parts you can use this time to invest in some.

• Some superlube for bearings/z-rod/etc
  
• Ferrules & crimp (great if you want to swap boards and have 'proper' cabling)
  
• A heavier duty 'get off the damn bed' thingy
  
• Reusable cable ties (save the ocean or some shit)
  
• Deburr tool
  
• M2/M3/M4 bolt set with T-nuts (great if you want to print some add-ons that attach to the extrusions)
  
• Different bed surfaces if you want to experiment
  
• Microfiber cloths for cleaning things
  
• Tooth brush and some orange cleaner for cleaning up that z-rod
  
• LED lightbar or some other form of lighting
  
• Extra hot end socks, nozzles, thermistors, heating elements (better to have one or two on hand then wait a while!)
  
• 14/12 awg silicone wire for mains connection (great with spades & ferrules!)
  
• Soldering iron, cabling, heatshrink (if you want to swap fans or do any other wire splicing activities)
  
• Ball bearing 4010 fans (or 4020, or whatever size you mod to - IMO go for 24v and avoid noctua/buck converter shenanigans)

I use a deburring tool to remove brims. Works great.

I would recommend a nice fairly cheap deburring tool.

This one can be used straight or with the blade at a 90 to the handle for deburring inside holes. I use mine weekly. Uses "b" blades, not sure how common those are vs "e" blades

my most used tool. there are cheaper ones, but this one does the job nicely and is staying sharp.

Take a look at getting one of these, they're wonderful.

To make it easier to remove the brim, get yourself a deburring tool. Makes it so much easier to trim your parts.

Something like one of these?

What about something like this

Invest in a quality multimeter, current clamp and a good set of leads. When you start dealing with 480/277 and higher voltages, your life and the life of others can depend on your meter, so invest in quality.

My Fluke 87V and i410 got me through almost all industrial troubleshooting, with the exception of megging and determining phase rotation for the vast majority of my apprenticeship and has never failed me.

If you do a lot of RMC, invest in a large pair of channellocks, a chain wrench and a swivel head deburring tool. Pipe wrenches are also handy, but you can make do without them.

Just my two cents.

A fairly simple method:

• bend the brim first against the model and then backwards - repeat a couple times and the brim will fall off
  
• use a deburring tool (sample only - first link I found) to remove the remaining brim.
