Description

Boost Me (for free)

If my designs are useful to you, or you appreciate the designs in any way, I’d be incredibly honored if you would consider giving me a Boost! It helps support future tool designs, and keeps the Maker community growing!

This set of precision-forward imperial woodworking spacers was designed to provide fast, repeatable spacing without constantly reaching for and fumbling with a tape measure.

The system includes 30 spacers across 5 common sizes, allowing you to quickly set accurate offsets for woodworking setups, layout work, and assembly tasks.

Each spacer is 2”L x 1”W with thicknesses that span from 1/16" to 3/4", making them easy to handle and versatile enough to be used individually or stacked together in multiple orientations for custom spacing on all your projects.

The included custom organizer box keeps the entire system clean, organized, and ready for use in the workshop when you need it.

 

Included Thicknesses:

• 1/16"
• 1/8"
• 1/4"
• 1/2"
• 3/4"

The included box file fits 6 spacers of each size for a total of 30 spacers, for an endless amount of combinations! If you don't care to have the box, or don't want 30, simply adjust (by deleting in the slicer) the number of spacers on the plates, and/or the box & lid, to fit your needs. 

 

Design Features:

• Engraved size labels for quick identification
• Chamfered edges for comfortable handling and better print accuracy
• Finger groove on the back for easy pickup
• Optimized print profile for post-print dimensional accuracy
• Stackable for expanded spacing combinations
• Custom organizer box file included

 

Perfect For:

• Cabinet hardware spacing
• Fence setup on table saws
• Router table offsets
• Jig setup
• Repeatable layout work
• Assembly spacing of any kind

 

Printing:

A tested print profile is included for reliable printing. I have included the print profile for both the spacers and the box that gave me the highest level of accuracy as far as post-printing measurements on my P2S using Sunlu PLA 2.0+ filament specifically.

Can be printed using PLA, PLA+, or PETG.

 

If you print this system I would love to see it in your shop, please share a Make photo!

If you found the design useful or even inspiring to design your own set, I would feel honored to receive a Boost from you!

 

Remixes and improvements always welcome. Happy printing!

I use these blocks in my wood shop a lot. The case was tight for the 1/4 inch slot but a little sanding on the edges fixed it right up, Thanks!

When I got into woodworking, I REALLY wanted a set like this as I knew it would make my life so much easier. When I would find other 3D printed sets of this size I was so surprised at how expensive they were. I was really excited to design and print my own for a fraction of the price, and hope someone else on here can get that same benefit as well!

My friend who is a woodworker loves it. A latch on the case would be a great addition as would a slightly easier to assemble hinge design.

This is a lovely set of spacers! It would be great if you could take a shot at a set of metric ones too!

Printed great. Everything fits well but the hinge is a pit tight when assembling. Once together it works great. Would be nice to add a latch to hold case closed.
