FESTOOL MFT/3 Corner, Edge & Surface Gap Fills

BACKGROUND / DESIGN CONCEPT

This is a set of models designed for use with the FESTOOL MFT/3 worktable, addressing the gaps in the cast aluminum edge extrusions at the corners and the joint gaps when two worktables are connected.

While the models are entirely original, they were inspired by FabianT* on MakerWorld who created a nice corner cover for the same worktable (and helped me learn about heat-sink inserts).  Credit must also go to Ian McFetridge who generated the template for the FESTOOL MFT/3 edge rail extrusion and posted it on GrabCAD.

This set of models will work for just a single worktable (where only the corners are required) or when connecting two tables; either side-to-side (long side) or end-to-end (short side).  The concept is to use only 3D printed parts, printable on a Bambu X1 Carbon printer and only deviates from this in Group 3 where non-3D printed elements can be incorporated by a maker.

Full model documentation is included in the attached PDF file.
