Dovetail markers for Woodworking

cults3d

Inspired by the design at thingiverse, I created my own set of dovetail markers to meet my workshop requirements. In addition to exploring 3D printing, I also practice traditional woodworking techniques. I produced four versions to cover various shop needs: - A saddle square with a 90-degree angle - Two common ratios, 1:6 and 1:8 - Another design for a 14-degree angle frequently used by some craftsmen To determine the strongest orientation and smoothest edges, I experimented with different configurations. After testing, I decided to orient the number tags downwards, resulting in the cleanest edge on the angled surfaces. A gentle sanding process on a flat surface can refine any ridged edges that may remain. Overall, I'm satisfied with the outcome of these dovetail markers. They were printed using PLA filament from Matter Hackers on my Printrbot Simple 3D printer. The objects were designed in Tinkercad at https://tinkercad.com/things/5SVsyhA7HWt.
