Simplify your technical drawings with this handy 3D-printed hole and radius template! Designed to replace the often frustrating compass, this template provides accurate and consistent circles and radii without the issues of blunt points or slipping.

 

Key Features:

  • Wide Range of Diameters: Features precisely sized holes ranging from 3mm to 30mm in diameter, allowing for easy creation of various circular elements.
  • Essential Radii Included: Contains four commonly used radii: 5mm, 10mm, 15mm, and 20mm. These are clearly marked for quick and accurate arc drawing.
  • Eliminates Compass Issues: Say goodbye to blunt compass points that struggle to leave a mark and the annoyance of the compass slipping mid-draw. This template ensures clean and accurate results every time.
  • Durable 3D Printed Construction: Designed for repeated use, this template is sturdy and lightweight. Print your own in your preferred material.
  • Ideal for Technical Drawings: Perfect for engineers, designers, students, hobbyists, and anyone creating technical illustrations of machinery, parts, and more.
  • Easy to Use: Simply place your pencil tip in the desired hole or align it with the radius edge and draw.

 

How to Print:

  • I recommend using translucent filament for the base so that the drawing lines can shine through the template. This increases the precision when using this gadget.
  • It is also recommended to use a smooth build plate, if available, and a layer height of 0.1 mm.
  • The template can be easily printed in one color; however, switching the color for the letters could improve readability.
  • No AMS is needed; simply switch the colors after 0.5 mm for the best result.
