Some Spacers / Gauges / Setup Blocks for woodworking.  These are really useful when building cabinetry and other projects.

In addition to the different thicknesses, all blocks have outer 1" x 2" dimensions so can be used as gauges for those dimensions as well.

Instructions for printing:

  • Perfect prints for PLA, but would work with any filament.

  • I did 8% Gyroid infill... but again, anything would probably work.

  • You may need to calibrate your printer in order to get more accurate parts.  I printed this on a Bambu Labs P1S and all dimensions were within +/- 0.003".

  • I set the tolerance in the tray so it's a loose fit around the blocks - if it's still too tight for your printer, you can use the link below and modify the singular Tray_Fit_Tolerance variable to increase the clearance for all pockets.

  • Make sure to go in and set the lettering part of the models to a different color in your slicer. This can be printed on any printer/slicer - is really easy with printers equipped with automatic material changing systems.

  • If your slicer has a Precise Z setting - turn that on.  It will make your prints closer to the actual dimensions.

  • I did a color change to get the tops of the trays to print in black just for aesthetics - not necessary to do.

I've also shared the OnShape link I used to create them if you want to copy/modify (or make a metric version):
