Printed drilling fixture for angled holes

thingiverse

This fixture was designed for use with a drill press to create angled holes in prepared blanks. The clamping block also locates additional holes previously drilled into the round blank, which are used to secure it in place within the clamp. A center drill initiates each hole, followed by a jobber drill to complete the operation. To assemble, the printed model of the part is placed in the clamping block and table on the drill press, then secured with a clamp. The clamping block is removed from the table, rotated one facet, and reinserted to align all subsequent holes properly. Both the table and clamping block were 3D-printed in ABS without supports, as the 45-degree angle posed no issues. Marlin default settings were used for all other parameters, including a .4mm nozzle and .2mm layer height.
