Parametric Angled Edge Drill Jig

thingiverse

This parametric angled edge drill jig serves as a valuable tool for drilling precise holes along any defined alignment on the edge of a material. I designed it specifically to address challenges I faced while working with rocket fins. The primary goal was to create a tab removal system that would allow the fins to pass through my fin beveling jig seamlessly, necessitating the development of this hole jig to drill an angled hole in the fins prior to cutting off the tabs. This ensured perfect alignment during reattachment and added strength to the joint. This versatile jig can be utilized in any scenario where a hole needs to be drilled into the edge of a part, with the angle being adjustable as per requirement. To facilitate accurate alignment, a raised bump is strategically positioned on one side of the jig, providing a clear visual indicator of the precise location where the hole will be created. The fudge_factor variable in the scad file offers a means to fine-tune the hole size, accommodating factors such as filament shrinkage and over-extrusion.
