Post by BigRep - Large-Format 3D Printers

👉 Today, we want to show you a quick project, we did with a customer   The goal was to create a drill jig that allows the customer to drill three precise holes in a chain guard.   For this purpose, they designed and 3D printed a custom drill jig. It consists of two main parts, both printed in a carbon-filled material for extra stiffness and durability. With our BigRep large-format 3D printers, they were able to produce this sizable drill jig in one piece without any issues.   The main body holds the chain guard in place, while a hinged flap with drill bushings ensures precise hole placement.   Here’s how it works: ✅ The chain guard is positioned and clamped securely. ✅ The flap with the drill bushings is folded over. ✅ The drill is guided through each bushing - hole one, hole two, hole three. ✅ Once done, the clamps are released, the flap is folded back, and the chain guard now has perfectly placed holes.   Quick to design, quick to print, and now the customer has a reliable tool to work with. Thanks to Michael Eggerdinger for the demonstration.   ----- #3Dprinting #additivemanufacturing #innovation #engineering #robotics
