2020 V-Slot Drill & Cutting Jigs
Design
Due to lack of space for a proper workshop, I am forced to use basic handtools in order to process my build parts (more specifically 2020/2040/4080c-beams). Having said that, I designed a set of jigs to tap M5 holes, drill holes for blind joints (10mm from the edge) and also a cutting jig that is suitable for metal saws with 1mm thick blade.
Printing Info
ABS or ASA preferrable but really you can print them with anything solid.
Recommended print settings are:
- 4 Walls
- 0.2mm Layer height
- 5 Top/Bottom Layers
- 40% Infill
Print as oriented on the .stls
This print needs a fine tuned 3d printer, because the parts have very tight tolerances (in order to be a snug fit to the extrusion)
Hardware
You will need M5x8mm screws, M5 Nutsx4 and 4 Universal L Brackets (these are needed for the cutting jig.
Tips
In order to have a solid base to cut your 2020s, you can mount it to a 2060-2080 extrusion (see the picture) similar to length with the extrusion you want to cut.
