There's really nothing special about this model...except that it has a very special use. If you are doing a segmented pen turning and want to do a herringbone pattern on your blank, this jig is extremely useful to clamp sections while you do a CA glue up.
I recommend you either use frequent applications of mold release spray or something else to keep the work from sticking to the jig (although this will be inevitable). I find that my mix of vaseline and naptha that is being used for a silicone mold release agent works well here but you have to make sure your mating surfaces stay clean.
To print: Both parts are recommended to be printed with PETG using 25% gyroid infill, 5 wall loops for strength. You will likely need to print on two plates due to the size.
To use: Slot the moveable side into the dovetails and use a long squeeze clamp to apply pressure.
Helpful hints: I use a small kabob stick once I apply light pressure to push in each one of these slabs until tight. I also use thin CA glue so that it flows into all of the tiny voids when mating surfaces together.
That's about it! Enjoy.
