3D Printing for Woodworking || Multifunctional Edge Guide

3D printed Edge Guide designed in Rhino3d with grasshopper printed with PLA. It can be used in 3 different ways: with router table and two difefrent types of bits with bearing on top and bottom. Has 10 templates with difefrent radius and 45 degree cut ranging between 10 and 60mm radius.

Tip, use strong springs or better yet spacer blocks of your stock size between your top and bottom guides on the bolts to help relieve some of the pressure; your guides are bending pretty seriously when clamped down. Great idea! Love your videos you've made some awesome tools!

[Midnightosx]

you need to insert steel spacers on the screws between the to plates to prevent breakage or bending from over-tightening

[gregshonting]

Great jig idea. Here is an important tip for using routers- you should always feed the wood into the spin of the bit, not with it. When using the router table, that means feeding from right to left when on the side close to you. When using a router by hand, on the outside of an object move counter clockwise and inside is clockwise.

Ok, I've been trying to come up with an excuse for buying a 3d printer, and I wasn't even thinking about jigs for woodworking.... I may be sold!

[senjos]

Amazing!! I was looking for a jig similar to this. Yours is so much better than what I saw til now. And, I bought it right now!! Thanks for making this!!

Which software do you use to design your creations?

[janik]

I really like the black quick connect screw thing you used to hold the different radius/chamfer guides. Maybe add a wingnut-style extension or some other geometry to it so it can be used toolless? Also maybe some large washers under the long screws :)

You can avoid having supports in areas like those bolt recesses by bridging across the recess them in two layers, tangent to the hole.

Or you can add a sacrificial, single layer bridge that covers the hole completely and just go right through it with your bolt. Both can save a lot of time when prototyping or making large numbers of parts.

Great designs!

[mroczysaw]

Have you considered using sacrificial layers for screw holes in the holder? Then you could print without supports.

Congratulations...
Lo complejo hecho práctico😉.
You make project designed custom?
Tks...
Hey I am subscribed 😉.

Hello,
I've just bought to you those corner guide 3d print file. Would love to have a small tips for the print, perimeter, orientation, etc.

Amazing....spirit 46 guys...
Don't forget me ok guys....

Learn to squeeze collet wrenches into each for both tightening and loosening, it's all about leverage. You will never need to “free air” those wrenches again. Same concept used with table saw blade wrenches.

What material are you printing? With the pla I have problems with the heat using the router

[richardcanon]

New to TPU. Having adhesion problems and lots of stringing. Got time for sharing a few tips? Running Ender 6, stock equipment. Ran a slice specs in your file.

[BossTweed]

Have you ever made a router lift table?

[andrevanopstal]

Very nice design I will definitely do something with this.
It's amazing what you can do with a 3D printer. I recently got an Ender 3 V2. The problem, however, is that the prints often come off the plate and skew.
What kind of PLA do you use and how do you keep the plate clean?

[Haagimus]

oh bro this is a million-dollar idea, patent it quick, sell it online and make $$$

[mortarriding]

What CAD package are you using to design these?

[AntiThesis]

Very nice! I was trying to access your website to purchase some of these models but it appears to be down?
