Cutting EPP foam with the MK3 Phlatprinter

I was asked how I cut my EPP foam by someone on the phlatforum. This is how I do it.

Thanks guys. Only modification I have done since is to clamp two guides to the front of the printer. Just to make 100% sure that the foam does not travel or twist. Once I had done that everything just works perfectly every time.

Hi Rob Thanks for making the video. It answered a lot of my questions. Hey, that looks like a YAK 55.

That is a great idea using a glue gun! I have been using the carrier sheet to keep the EPP "stable" for quite a while, but I have used masking tape instead of hot glue. Your idea is much better in that glue sticks are much cheaper than rolls and rolls of tape! Thanks so much for sharing!!
