Introduction: Carrot & Cucumber Cutter (Julienne)
One of the best healthy snacks I love are carrots cut in matchsticks.
In this Instructable I'll show you a gadget that you can part 3D print and when assembled cut carrots in seconds.
It's easy and safe to use even by kids.
What's needed:
- Caulk gun like the one I used.
If you can’t find one locally, search for “Skeleton caulk gun” on Amazon.Here is one similar to the one I used. https://goo.gl/FEKoRW
- Steel wire
- 3D printed parts

Step 1:
First I cut the end of the caulk gun
Step 2:
Then I applied some glue and slid the main 3D printed piece onto the caulk gun's side bars
Step 3:
I used a steel wire to make a cutting end.
There are 2 different size cutting ends included in the file.
Step 4:
Then I attached the plunger and screwed on the cutting end
Step 5:
You'll want to pump the plunger until it reaches the cutter, so you could mark the rod and cut it.
Step 6:
Then I glued the lever.
It will prevent the plunger going too far and damaging the cutting end.
Step 7:
It's perfect to cut carrots and easy to use.
Guide the carrot with hand when cutting it.
You can use different size cutting ends for different size matchsticks.
