prusaprinters

<p>This drill guide is designed for a Dewalt DCD776-EX but should also work for drills with collars around 54mm. It fits by friction and should push on and pull off.</p> <p>It boasts a primitive but effective depth gauge. Just twist to raise or lower.</p> <p>Using depth gauge</p> <ol> <li>Insert bit</li> <li>Slip collar on drill (Gauge should run along the top of the drill)</li> <li>Place drill on the job and let springs take the weight</li> <li>Adjust bit, so it is just touching job</li> <li>Twist gauge, so that distance from the top of the foot foot is the depth you need<h3>Print Settings</h3> </li> </ol> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Prusa</p> <p><p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>i3 MK3 MMU 2</p></div><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p><p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>200</p> <p><p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>20</p></div><br/> <strong>Filament:</strong><br/> [</p> <h3> Any PLA ](http://www.amazon.com/s?url=search-alias&amp;field-keywords=Any+PLA&amp;tag=thingiverse09-20) Post-Printing</h3> <p><strong>Shopping list</strong></p> <p><div><p>You will need.</p> 2 x 8mm x 200mm stainless steel rods.<br/> (You could substitute any steel, aluminium or even threaded rod)<br/> 2 x springs<br/> Mine were 14mm in diameter and 75mm long. You may need to experiment with what you can get locally)<br/> 1 x threaded rod 3/16 or M4 (If M4 you may need an additional m4 locking screw)</div></p> <p><strong>Construction</strong></p> <p>Rods should just push into the foot. Hammer gently if needed.</p> <p>Rods will be initially stiff through the collar. Work gently and/or add silicon grease so they slide firmly but smoothly.</p> <h3> How I Designed This</h3> <p>I designed this job from scratch but first studied several existing designs to work out the best approach and collect ideas. These makers included:</p> <p><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3585407">dj-abi</a><br/> <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3591832">lorenzo-54</a><br/> <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4461693">anisb</a><br/> <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4387534">ucancallmebob89</a></p> <p>So thank you all.</p> </p></p></p> Category: Machine Tools
