I'm doing a project that requires joining mdf boards, and found myself looking for a way to make sure I was centred on my 18mm board.  This model has a right angle lip to line up against the edge and 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm and 6mm drill bit holes.   It should work any time you want a hole centred 9mm from the edge.

Print on the thick side with the holes running parallel to the build plate.  I used organic/tree supports in PrusaSlicer and it worked well.  I tried printing in other orientations, but ended up with bad surfaces either touching the wood (made alignment tough) or the top (made the numbers hard to read).

Printed on Ender 3 S1 Pro (Sonic Pad) with Sunlu PLA and:

  • 0.2mm layers
  • 3 perimeters, 3 top/bottom layers
  • 10% infill
  • Organic Supports
  • 200mm/s perimeters, infill
  • 150mm/s external perimeters
  • 40mm/s supports
  • Though actual speeds were mostly in the sub 100mm/s range based on the size of the layers and travel
  • 6000 accel
