Biomaterials engineering. Couldn't get em to okay me the diamond saws for cutting plastic (melts and messes up the saw). Took a look at the alum bits and ended up using a razor blade. Until I got bored and just ripped it open. That worked pretty well as I got it to fracture at the plastic welds. Stays together without any cement. Not much to look at apart though. Oh, also in my impatience I tried to wedge it with a screwdriver. I don't recommend this. Plastic's soft. Dents more than it prys. Cut about half way on each side the pulled open with my hands, snapping the obstinent bits with the razor. Took a half hour for the first half and ten mins for the second. You should see the endo saws though. I've got a set I use for opening copper wire casings. Hacksaws with sub millimeter cutting edges?
