1 Inch Hex Wall Tile Spacer & Alignment Jig

A simple but stupidly useful jig for anyone installing hexagonal tiles, felt acoustic panels, wood hex shelves, or any honeycomb-pattern wall decor. Drops into the negative space between three hexagons at a junction, defines a perfect gap, and aligns the edges of all three at once.

Why you want this

Installing hexagons on a wall sounds easy until you're 12 tiles in and realize each one is drifting a quarter inch off and the gaps look uneven. Painter's tape and a level don't cut it. This jig sets the gap and the alignment in one move — drop it at the junction, push three hexes against it, done.

How it works

Three arms radiate at 120° from a solid central hub. The hub sits in the gap between hex points and defines spacing. The long arms extend down the channels between adjacent hex flat edges, so any misalignment shows up immediately as a visible gap between the arm and the hex edge. Print a few of these and leapfrog them across the wall as you go.
