Woodworking Spacers

thingiverse

I recently took on a job building a deck as a favor for a friend. I needed a spacer to create consistent spacing when laying the decks down. In short, I don't like the ones you can pick up at home depot or lowes.I wanted a spacer that could be pushed, pulled, manipulated, kicked, stepped on, and hammered into place when needed. Because we know that boards aren't always straight.I printed a bunch of these already and have used them with a lot of success. I can squeeze them with the boards, press them into place, and pull them out without breaking them. I also tested them with the resin printer and it didn't work as well as it should have.They won't be machine accurate, they will be as accurate to your printer with a +/- deviation equal to the Z height and Step calibration. You can use your own calipers to see what kind of deviation you have. But using them consistently will yield consistent results.Deck Spacers6mm = 1/4 inch.4.5mm = 3/16 inch.3mm = 1/8 inch.Drawer Spacers3mm = 1/8 inch.2.5mm = 3/32 inch.2mm = 5/64 inch.1.5mm = 1/16 inch
