Description

A low-profile template for drilling perfectly spaced 5mm adjustable shelf pin holes. Features a 5mm base plate to minimize material use, with 30mm tall tapered bosses to fully support standard metal drill guide bushings.

  • Bushing Holes: 10.2mm diameter to accommodate 10mm OD metal drill bushings.
  • Indexing Holes: 5.2mm diameter, fits standard 5mm shelf pins to lock the jig in place for the next run.
  • Spacing: 32mm vertical pitch, 50mm horizontal spacing (20mm and 70mm from the edges of a 90mm wide plate).
  • Thickness: 5mm base, 30mm overall height at the bushings.

French Cleat Pliers and Drill Holders

French Cleat Pliers and Drill Holders

A pair of tool holders that hang on a 45° french cleat wall: a pliers rack and a cordless drill holder. Each has a matching 45° lip on the back, sized for an 18 mm ply cleat with 0.5 mm of clearance, so it drops on and stays put under its own weight. Built for a bare garage wall where the tools currently live in a bucket. Pliers holder: 90 mm wide, 95 mm tall, with a 10 mm shelf that projects 45 mm. Two handle slots sit at 25 mm and 65 mm across and taper slightly open toward the back. Drill holder: 130 mm wide, 105 mm tall, with a 10 mm shelf that projects 85 mm. A 40 mm round chuck opening is open to the front, and four 9 mm bit holes sit near the side edges. Remix hooks Cleat size: the cleat thickness (18 mm) and clearance (0.5 mm) drive the lip. Change them to match 12 mm or 19 mm stock. Tighten the clearance only after a test print. Slot count and spacing: add more pliers slots by widening the holder and repeating the slot positions. Narrow or widen each slot to suit your handle thickness. Chuck opening: the 40 mm diameter suits a typical cordless drill chuck. Adjust it for larger drivers or impact guns. Drill extras: the bit holes are 9 mm. Resize them for hex bits or drill bits, or replace them with a battery cradle. Shelf strength: the shelf is 10 mm thick with 4 mm gussets. Thicken it for heavier tools. Pairs well with More cleat-mounted holders cut to the same lip profile. A length of 45° ply cleat screwed into studs, with the holders spaced about 20 mm apart (the pliers holder is 90 mm wide and the drill holder is 130 mm wide). Print each holder on its back, and test the cleat fit on a short piece before committing to a full print.

SpoolScope — Filament Remaining Gauge

SpoolScope — Filament Remaining Gauge

SpoolScope is a two-part gauge for estimating how much filament remains on a standard spool, made for spools that sit out of easy view in an AMS or on a shelf. The rail hooks over the flange rim; the sliding block rides on it with light detents, so you can push it down until it touches the filament, lift the gauge away and read the result. Raised ticks and numbers plus an unambiguous arrow on the block make the measurement clear without needing line-of-sight while the gauge is in place. Features Two printed parts: a rail with a rim hook, and a detented sliding block. Gram scale from 0 to 1000 g, with ticks every 50 g and numbers every 100 g. Ticks follow filament geometry rather than an even spacing: closer together near full, wider apart near empty. Arrows on the block tip directly toward the scale, and the detents hold the reading after the gauge is lifted off. Hook gap of 4 mm, sized to clear flanges from 2.8 mm to 3.6 mm thick. Dimensions Flange diameter: 200 mm. Hub outer diameter: 95 mm (from a measured Polymaker spool). Full-roll diameter: 170 mm (estimated from a 1 kg PLA roll on a 95 mm hub and a 65.6 mm spool width). Hook gap: 4 mm. Fitting and calibration Sized around Polymaker and Inland 1 kg spools; other brands are worth checking against the hub and flange figures above. The scale can be shifted by a single fixed offset if a first print reads consistently high or low, so a weight check against a known spool is worth doing before trusting the numbers. If the error differs between a full and an empty spool, the hub and full-roll values are the ones to correct. Print notes Both parts are laid out flat on the print plate. The block contacts the filament at its outer edges rather than at the centre, so a reading can sit slightly high; a weight check against a known spool is the best way to confirm the scale.
