Adjustable Drill Depth Stop – 3–7 mm / 6–10 mm

This adjustable drill depth stop was created after searching MakerWorld for a single, adjustable solution… and finding mostly one depth stop per drill bit size.

That works — but it also means:

• multiple prints
• more filament
• and a small collection of depth stops you have to keep track of

Instead, this design focuses on adjustability.

One depth stop for smaller drill bits.
One for slightly larger ones.
No need to print a new part for every size.

Less plastic.
Less clutter.
Same precision.

Versions included

Two adjustable versions are available:

• 3–7 mm (≈ 1/8" – 1/4")
• 6–10 mm

Together, they cover most common small and medium drill bit sizes.

Assembly

To assemble one depth stop, you will need:

• 2× M3*20mm  screws
• 2× M3 nuts

Simple hardware. Simple assembly.

Features

• Adjustable drilling depth control
• Covers multiple drill bit sizes per version
• Reduces the need for multiple single-size stops
• Saves filament and storage space
• Compact and lightweight design
• Uses standard M3 hardware

Perfect for

• Woodworking
• DIY projects
• Repetitive drilling
• Anyone who prefers one adjustable tool over many single-purpose ones

Notes

Make sure the depth stop is tightened securely before drilling.
Adjust once — drill many times.

🛠️Before You Start Printing

Before printing, give the bed a quick clean 🧽 — good adhesion = better first layer and accurate geometry.

Use dry filament (wet filament loves to pop, string, and ruin dimensions).

When using my MakerWorld profiles, make sure the selected material matches what you’re actually printing. Different materials shrink and behave differently — the wrong profile can mean wrong dimensions.

Also, my STL files are designed and dimensioned for PLA. If you print them in PETG, you may need to slightly rescale the model to compensate for different shrinkage.

Clean bed. Dry filament. Correct material. Done 😄
