My UFO Box arrived today from @alienslacker. Wow I think the @captubes ant the cutter are worth the cost of this months subscription. But you get all the sample filaments, the monthly project to build, the clock (you can see the parts in the upper left corner). AWESOME pic.twitter.com/NpJHN3ct2v

Tube Cutter
To properly seat your Bowden tube, it is imperative to have a clean, square, end. Without this, you risk oozing, or worse, clogging, in the hot end. This super-sharp tubing cutter is the perfect tool for obtaining a clean, square cut in your tubing, every time.
Features a stainless steel blade and spring. The housing is made from tough durable plastic. There’s a hole through the end so you can attach it to a key chain, hang it on a necklace, etc., so you won’t lose it.
Fits up to 6mm diameter tubing. Can also be used to cut filament. (Do not use as a wire cutter or you will dull the blade, however.)
Visit Capricorn WebsiteActivity / Project
This month I was inspired by Dan the 3D Printing Dad and his 3D printed clock. I wanted to do something practical this month and with his permission I’ve created a design to go along with the clock parts in the UFO’s also please check out Dan’s clock design on thingiverse.
I hope you have fun with this project, and look forward to your shares on twitter with the tag #TheUFOInvasionIsHere!
• AA Battery Powered Quartz Clock
• Black Clock Hands
• Mounting washers, nut and hands cap

Great box! I wanted to let you know that my package just arrived today even though you sent it priority mail 2 day. I’m not blaming you, just wanted to bring it to your attention in case you have any recourse with USPS for a shipping refund. I have a photo of the label if it helps. Thanks again for such a cool subscription box.

Hmm… that’s strange. I appreciate the notice on it, I’m not sure if there’s anything I can do about it but I have your tracking number and can make an inquiry! I’m glad you enjoyed the box!
