Description

Adjustable router template. Easy to print, but it takes some time. If the size(limited by the print height of the X1C) is not enough you can print additional profiles and extend the length or width.

To put it together you will need heated inserts, 2 for connecting sliders and 2 for the profile if you want extend it.

For fastenners I advice M4 button head 18mm screw. You can use different type but then you will need use some washers as wel. Also they need to be operated with allen key. There is no space for screwdriver.

The round block is to support router. Fits on my Festool OF1010. You can use it when you unscrew one of the screws holding the router plate. Then you fix it with M4 button head 18mm. It may fit other routers as well as long as they have M4 hole at the bottom plate.

Just in time to route a cutout in my desk for a rectangular grommet. Printed 6 on my P1S, in HZST3D PETG Pro and Inslogic PETG Pro for the sliders (PEI Textured plate with an old layer of glue stick). As others have found, the looser tolerance sliders were required, snug but works pretty well. Hardware took a few amzn orders to get right, lol. Inserts: M4x8.1; Bolts: M4x16mm button head (18mm don't seem to be widely available but these work fine).

Could you provide links to the hardware please? I'd like to try this, the printing I can do but I have no idea what hardware to buy. Thanks

The first attempts at using this resulted in the plastic melting and it was not usable. I could try different settings & bits, but it's not worth the effort right now.

Did you use it with a guided profiler ? Because of the speed, the bearing wheel can be very hot, and melt plastic. I think this system is done to be used with template guide (with collar) installed on the router. 3rd picture shows exactly the router with template guide. (sorry if tools names aren't precise, english isn't my native language).

print completed despite 2 towers falling off bed onto floor. parts became very wavy and unusable. likely not a candidate for A1

Bed slingers are not very good with tall prints with less contact surface. Unless you print it very slow.

I would rotate the print by 90 degrees then the bed moves along the long axis and the parts are more stable Should not be a problem to print with a bed slinger

I tried it with two strips in one print: rotated 90 degrees without problems. I didn't even need a brim:

Awesome model, thank you! Design is fantastic and it's already been put to good use in the shop. I had some issues getting the slides to fit without some sanding/modification, but that could have been due to the filament I was using or who knows what. Ended up modifying the slide dimensions slightly to maintain a tight but workable fit. Thanks again!

Which screws did you use? Are 18mm really sufficient? I would use countersunk screws, then the hex key wouldn't slip out so easily Thank you

I ended up using 16mm (button head) screws which worked well for my use. 18mm should also work well.

Using Bambu labs white HF PETG. These printed fine but they do not fit in the slides. The alternative tolerance print profile fits (the one outside the bag).

I have tried to print the model several times using PLA and PLA+ on a textured plate and all my tries have failed around 13 cm in height. I have finally decided to purchase a Glacier plate and printed fine both. Thank you,
