Manual "Caldo Verde" Slicer - Leaf Roll Cutter (Support-Free)
This is a manual kitchen tool specifically designed to help you slice kale or collard greens for the traditional Portuguese "Caldo Verde" soup. The design focuses on the "roll and slice" technique: you insert the rolled leaves into the guide, allowing for thin, consistent cuts while keeping your fingers safe.
Key Features:
Ergonomic Guide: Compresses the leaves as you push them through for a professional-style thin cut.
100% Support-Free: Optimized geometry for easy printing without any waste or messy cleanup.
Safety First: Provides a sturdy barrier between your fingers and the knife blade.
Food Safe Concept: Designed with simple surfaces to make cleaning easier.
Health & Safety Note: This model was designed to be printed with Food Safe PLA. Since 3D prints have layer lines that can trap bacteria, it is highly recommended to use a food-grade sealant (like food-safe epoxy) or ensure thorough cleaning after every use. Use a stainless steel nozzle if possible.
