X-wing Miniatures Template Bridge

thingiverse

I was inspired by this model (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:463842) and comments section to create my own version. Improvements I made include thickening for rigidity. The pass-through on top ensures the template travels the correct distance, unlike other versions that have an offset equal to the backwall thickness. Smaller feet allow units to be closer together when using templates. I also made the template fully reversible to adjust for different nose lengths. A cutout allows protrusion of many ship models. Post script - Acrylic is designed to hold 1/8" thick pieces, while the other version is tailored for stock cardboard pieces. Makerbot X2 Settings: So far, I've only used ABS with 3 shells & a HIPS raft. Please comment on final fit; dimensions are oversized compared to actual measurements from templates but print tolerances required different numbers.
