The Worktop Wafer – Non-Slip Work holding Pads for Woodworking & DIY

 

Worktop Wafers are low-profile work holding pads designed to keep your projects secure while protecting your work surface. Inspired by traditional bench cookies, these wafers use either  self-adhesive rubber pads or TPU Printed pads to create a reliable non-slip surface, giving you control without clamps.

Each wafer lifts your workpiece slightly off the bench, allowing dust, glue squeeze-out, and finishes to stay clear of your project while reducing unwanted movement. Ideal for woodworking, model making, and general DIY tasks.

Key Features

  • Designed for stick-on rubber pads or TPU printed pads to provide excellent grip
  • Tool-friendly design – if you accidentally cut or sand into a wafer, it won’t damage blades or bits
  • Protects your worktop from scratches, glue, and finish marks
  • Low-profile clearance for sanding, routing, and finishing
  • No clamps required – fast and flexible work holding
  • Reusable and durable for everyday workshop use

 

Pad Requirement

To achieve the non-slip performance, self-adhesive rubber or silicone pads  or TPU printed pads must be applied to the recessed areas of each Worktop Wafer.
 

Self-adhesive pads are commonly available online and in hardware stores (often sold as furniture feet or anti-slip pads).

Information regarding the self-adhesive rubber pad and be found on the Worktop Wafer Cut-out Template print profile.

 

There are two types of TPU Self printed pads available.

 

Printing Recommendations

  • Material: PLA
  • Infill: 15%
  • Layer Height: 0.2mm
  • Supports optional (It is possible to print without supports but you will experience some stringing/sagging on the underside)

Use Cases

  • Sanding panels and small parts
  • Applying finishes or oils
  • Assembly and glue-ups
  • Light routing and shaping
  • General bench protection

Whether you’re a professional woodworker or a weekend maker, The Worktop Wafer are a simple, effective addition to any workshop.

 

If you have any suggestions for potential improvements please let me know.

Prints very well even without supports. By this, other side is of course sagging little bit but rubber pad hides that. Also removed text altogether since it does not really bring much to model itself. Also printed 63mm template that makes cutting rubber very easy. Rubber itself is bought from automotive shop, it's some kind of sound-insulating rubber with adhesive back, works very well and won't come off. Cut easily with hobby knife and is very grippy, it was dirt cheap as well. I like simple design, easy and relatively fast to batch out and since they are only plastic, I can freely cut to cookies with power tools as much as I want.

Printed well! used Matte PLA. Minor defects on the non-supported surface, but the rubber mat works great. Haven’t had a project to try them out on yet but they seem like they’ll work great. Thank you.

just printed one cookie. too squishy for me, especially the bottom. ramped up the strength settings a bit since I will have heavy items on them. changes added 21 grams of filament and increased print time. upped walls, bottom and infill. printing with changes now. will update when finished.

That's Odd. I print mine using BL PLA Matte and have no movement in them, I just stood on one to test it and it was solid.

These were th third item that I printed on my new P1S. Awesome! I am baffled though at what the little rectangular item is that printed with it?

Hi, The rectangular item is the purge tower, it's used to purge the nozzle between colour changes. You can throw it away.

Thank you. I am finding there is not a lot of clear information with this 3D printing hobby. Live and learn has always worked for me though.

I really like this Bench Cookie. I printed 2 sets of 4 along with the peg board holder that matches them. On my second set I ran out of the green @ 90% and had to switch out to black. I think it actually looks better. I’m got some drawer liner and cut out the non grip pieces on my laser to finish these off. printed some peg board holders to go with them.

thank you, these are great! only thing I’d like to modify would be for the bottoms and tops to both be recessed for the non-stick pads. but I can still add that on myself. much appreciated!

Hi, glad you like these I think they work great (but I would say that!). They do have a little recess on the top and bottom of 1.5mm, this is so that the 3mm Neoprene Sheets protrude just enough to give them good grip. I hope you enjoy using them.

Hi, If that is on the underside then yes, it could just be the support to stop it sagging during the print.

Printed well without a hitch. I printed them with PETG HF. Supports are easy to remove. These go well with the cookie toppings that came from another project Bench Cookie Finishing Cone + Bridge by naregji91.
