Seam Allowances

Seam Allowance / Spacers

The wife found something similar on Pin terest and asked if I could make them for her. I said, “For you my luv, I can make anything!” (read “yes, dear”)

These spacers are designed for a pen to draw the allowance line while sliding along a ruler/straight edge. The print profile has text objects to show the ¼, 3/8, ½, and 1 inch radius common sizes. 

Plates:

1. I used a high-quality setting to add some mass and to make the lettering more legible at a small font size. The numbers use Bambu Studio text objects so they are customizable.  She recommends a smooth build plate for the spacers but a textured plate will also work, there will be just a little more friction on fabric. 
2. The second plate uses the same settings but does not have numbers to make it easier to choose this option when printing from the mobile application.
3. Fragile!  The third plate in the profile is for a base/holder thingy, which is entirely optional.  We ended up just using it to bundle together to give as a gift like in one of the posted pictures.

Hope you or whomever the print is for makes something awesome,
