35mm Film Cutting Guide
This 3D-printed guide works to keep your film and scissors at a 90 degree angle, and helps to make the edge of the frames easier to spot so you can cut it in the right place. Can be used over a table with a film strip, or with the strip hanging up (my preferred way to cut film).
The jig uses two neodymium magnets to hold the scissors in place, making their alignment much easier.
The finger loops can be swapped from side to side to match your scissors, depending on which way the blades overlap.
Your scissors must be made of steel which magnets can stick to. Cotton gloves are a help too, to help you hold the film in place and avoid fingerprints/grease.
