Hot Knife for Plastic Cutting!

Step 3 Cut stuff!

Works amazingly well on any kind and thickness of plastic. Makes custom modding and DIYs a breeze. The best part is, you can switch back to your soldering tip when you're done cutting! 8D

Wasn't that easy? If you want to, feel free to check out the video that shows how much crap I went through to get to this solution...lol! Watching this helps me keep coming up with these ideas... a blatant attempt to promote a video I admit ;)

But it's a pretty amusing example of how hard it can be to come up with a simple solution...

is this safe? i need to cut thru a sheet of plastic thats pretty thick and think this might be a solution!

You should wear a respirator, safety googles, do it outside, and keep a bucket of water near by should the plastic catch fire. The reason for this, is the plastic my let of fumes or smoke that will be toxic.

This is ideal for places that a Dermel can't reach or can't cut precisely otherwise you should be using a Dremel.
