Set of jigs for gluing balsa tubes

thingiverse

This is a set of precision-designed jigs for perfectly aligning and bonding thin balsa tubes with ease.\r\nThere are five specialized jigs available, including a cylindrical jig tailored for 1/4" mandrels and 0.013" thin tubes, as well as four tapered ones designed specifically for tail booms.\r\nThe tapered jigs stand at precise heights of 25, 22.5, 20, and 17.5 mm, allowing for uniform placement along Harlan's sophisticated tail boom form, which includes a +0.01" thin tube.\r\nA distinctive chamfered design clearly indicates the front (thicker) end of the mandrel.\r\n\r\nFor optimal results, print these jigs on a raft to prevent unwanted Elephant foot defects and tedious cleaning.\r\nThis carefully crafted set of jigs includes an intentional +0.15mm increase in diameters to account for common printer inaccuracies.\r\nTo ensure accurate dimensions, you may need to scale the jigs according to your specific printer's capabilities.
