This Cordless Ultrasonic Cutter is Like a Power X-Acto Knife

Perfect for cleaning up 3D prints

This C1 Ultrasonic Cutter, by Chinese tool manufacturer Hanboost, is designed to make delicate cuts in plastic easy.

The cordless, rechargeable-battery-powered tool vibrates at 40,000 HZ, allowing you to slice with ease; it seems like the ideal tool for cleaning up 3D prints.

It takes standard 30-degree angle hobby knife blades, though changing them does involve an Allen key.

The company claims it'll cut through a lot more than plastic:

The C1 has gone gangbusters on Kickstarter, racking up $522K-plus at press time, with 10 days left to pledge. Prices start at $109.

Until you said Kickstarter.
Also would be infinitely more attractive if it used some form of standard blades. Who knows if they are still around when I need new blades?

  Per the article and Kickstarter, it looks like it takes a standard hobby blade.
