Delta-Pi Drill and Alignment Parametric Jig

thingiverse

This is an easy-to-print jig designed specifically for use with the Delta-Pi printer. It offers flexibility in terms of column spacing adjustments, making it versatile for various needs. It's worth noting that if CNC machining or laser cutting has been used to create the base and top MDF boards, then this jig may not be necessary. However, since manual drilling is being done on these boards, a specialized jig has been created to assist with hole alignment. To ensure smooth operation, it is recommended to thoroughly read the instructions before embarking on the printing process. Fortunately, users can access the OpenSCAD source, allowing for effortless modification and possible use in alternative designs down the line. Instructions Begin by opening up the provided OpenSCAD source code, making the necessary edits to produce the STL files needed for a successful print. It's advisable to split the printing process into two or three distinct parts. Beyond that, this object should prove relatively simple to print due to its straightforward design. As an added feature, users can also customize the jig's thickness within the OpenSCAD source, providing an extra layer of adjustability based on personal preference and print time requirements. For instance, printing with a 1mm thickness can help expedite the process while achieving a solid enough structure for precise hole alignment.
