Woodworking marker

thingiverse

I finally got around to uploading this a while back, and I've been meaning to share it with you. This is a marker I use quite often for marking reliably repeatable distances and a 45-degree miter on metal rulers/straightedges that are locked in position. The images give a clear idea of how I use it - not rocket science at all. Besides the ruler, which is self-explanatory, the hardware I used was: one M6x16 (max18mm) hex head bolt and one M6 threaded insert that you can see in one of the photos. I made an animation showing how things come together, but I'm not sure if it uploaded correctly. You can check it out here: https://youtu.be/VSBwd_EsJK0 The RULER TEST part is exactly what it says - before printing the whole thing, print that to see if you need to scale anything (XY should be the same, or your 45-degree side will be off). In my case, it's 14.7mm wide and 0.2mm high, but that's because I'm using a specific printer and slicer settings - yours are sure to be different. Happy printing!
