3d printed drill templates and tools

[matmonster58]

My university library will print me whatever I need so I printed some tools to help me finish up some pedals.

I have basically unlimited access to 3d printed parts now. Is there anything else music related that would good to print?

@vigilante398 has a 3D-printed Strat...

Yeah the strat was cool, thinking about doing another body in the future but not really committed to the idea right now.

Rocket sockets are of course a good one, I print a new set every couple months. I also did a benchtop neck rest so I could work on my guitar more comfortably on the workbench. I actually print enclosures every now and then so I can do test fits without wasting a real enclosure.

Lately I've been trying to get back into design, trying to remember all the things I used to know how to do and designing things for the shop. My latest addition is hanging PCB holders with an easy dispensing slot at the bottom.

Hey, those are my drill templates I hope they work out for you.

Thanks for the models! I'm sure they'll be useful

What is the triangular piece?

What is the triangular piece?

Component bender.
Really just need the last one or two slots.
I use my bench top like a savage...

What is the triangular piece?

Its a leg bender

I don't really need it for pcb builds but itll come in useful for doing stripboard stuff

Oh I forgot another printed tool I use a lot, I have color-coded solder spool holders for the different types I use.

Ooh... do you have a sharable STL for that????

I like this! Without having a printer, how do I go about getting one made? I guess I could make a nice wooden one too.

I can't take credit for the design, found it on Thingiverse.

Kester Solder Spool Stand by AAustria

Solder spool stand designed specifically for Kester brand solder. Axles are designed to be a tight tolerance fit in the spool and facilitate smooth unspooling action in the stand. Print 1x stand and 2x axles.

Find someone with a printer and ask nicely There are companies that do custom 3D printing, but I've never really looked into the cost of it. It's a pretty easy print, no supports needed, and not much material used unless you go 100% infill, and even then probably only a couple dollars' worth.

I can vouch for this one.

Solder Spool Holder Stand - up to 68mm spool length by dougk49

Based on "Solder Spool Stand" created by Bluegoldfish. Modified to accommodate a longer solder spool with 68mm of horizontal space. The inside walls were moved out to provide more inside space for the spool. The outside walls were moved in to make the side walls thinner and to reduce the overall...

I needed to measure voltage cause my pedalboard PSU can set the outputs in a continuous range. When you have wires and don't know which one has which voltage it is good to have a small tool like this. The voltmeter is a panel one from Aliexpress (about 2$). The box has holes that can be easily tapped for M4 screws. Currently has one DC jack, but I was thinking about having one on each side. If anyone is interested I can share the files.

Is there a Makerspace in your area?

Makerspaces are great.

Check your public library too @KR Sound.

Not really. Maybe there is something at Purdue- you’d think there would be!
