• Compact Design: Small enough to toss in your tool bag or somewhere in your truck.
• Material Cost: Uses 235 grams of filament, which is cheaper than buying another pack of shims.

Print Settings

• Material: Standard PLA works, but if you leave your tools in a hot truck, use something like PETG.
• Walls: 3 walls is fine; don't go crazy.
• Infill: 12% Gyroid is more than enough.
• Supports: None! crazy right ?

How to use it:

1. Stick a scrap piece of wood in the slot.

3. Boom—you have a perfect shim. Repeat until your scrap pile is gone.
   
   It's probably best if you print this in a neon colour since this is a tool used near a spinning blade; don't be a hero like my friend in the GIF use a push stick and keep your eyes on the blade!
   
   [!!CAUTION!!] 
   
   Safety First: Always use a push stick. Ensure your table saw is properly calibrated and you are wearing appropriate PPE. Never put your hands near the blade.
