Good luck getting consistent cuts while you're freehanding. The idea is to make the nice flat cat scratching pad, and also being able to make the tool with the tool printer you have at home
I mean, you could make a jig to use a box cutter to make consistent width strips very easily with three pieces of scrap wood. But this commenter coming in here for the express purpose of trying to shit on 3D printer hobbyists was a stupid move on his part.
Or a ruler. And make the strips the width of the ruler. The only "extra" needed is a cutting surface. This plastic gizmo simply eliminates the need for a work surface, nothing else.
