Human: Custom Drill Jig for DIY Cam Lock Connector and Dowel Assembly. Designed specifically for an 18mm panel with an 8x20mm cam lock and an 8mm dowel, this design allows you to adjust the dimensions according to your needs using FreeCAD. The drill bushing is crafted from readily available scrap materials - iron tubes measuring 8mm/10mm in diameter, and aluminium tubes with inner and outer diameters of 4mm/6mm. This setup will suffice for a DIY wall dresser project, lasting long enough to complete the task. [2016-11-29 Update] Center marks have been added, along with an additional hole designed for 30mm cam dowels. The positioning peg holes have also been lowered. [2017-01-18 Update] The design has been adjusted to accommodate 18mm panels, correcting a previous error where the panel thickness was set at 19mm. [2017-04-06 Update] Positioning holes for 22mm components have been added, anticipating a future project - a bookcase. Print Settings: Printer Brand: RepRap Printer: Mendel Prusa i3 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: Layer height set at 0.40mm Infill: 20% Notes: Green PLA is used for printing. Post-Printing Instructions: Drill holes with a diameter of 9.9mm in the bushing, then fit the 8mm bushing, which should be heated with a mini torch before assembly. Next, drill center holes measuring 5.9mm and install the 4mm bushings, also heating them with a mini torch for a secure fit. Finally, drill 3.3mm holes and tap M4 threads in the height setting holes, allowing for adjustments to be made at three different heights - 15mm, 18mm, and 25mm. The design has been tested and proven effective only for 18mm panels.
