Abstract

Field dressing animals can often be a dangerous task. It is not uncommon for hunters to cut themselves or spoil meat by puncturing nearby organs. The OSAT cutting tool allows the user to cut only what is needed in a safe manner. It also allows the user to replace the blade. A replaceable blade ensures the tool is reusable and easy to use time after time. The OSAT cutting tool allows hunters to field dress an animal without risking safety or the quality of the meat harvested.

Bill of Materials

Utility blades can be ordered in bulk for little cost. TEKTON supplies 100 utility blades for $9.26. This is available here. http://www.amazon.com/TEKTON-82580-Utility-Dispenser-100-Piece/dp/B000NPPCPK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417533173&sr=8-1&keywords=utility+blades

The STL file for the part can be found here.

Tools needed for fabrication of the OSAT

MOST Delta RepRap or similar RepRap 3-D printer

Skills and Knowledge Necessary to Make the OSAT

If you used special skill – link to relevant wikipedia or wikiversity articles/courses

Technical Specifications and Assembly Instructions

Provide directions for print/assembly - be detailed enough in your “how to” to ensure that someone could construct the device from your description. Consider the elegance of IKEA like instructions.
Include print time estimate
The blade should be simply placed into the groove on the handle.
Including drawings or pictures of the device at stage of assembly at minimum. (http://www.appropedia.org/Special:Upload)

Common Problems and Solutions

Include common mistakes/problems to avoid in building your OSAT and how to overcome them

Cost savings

If your solution is not a low cost one then it is not really appropriate.
