This jig allows to easily and accurately extend existing 5mm shelf pin holes without requiring any measuring. It's made for a 5mm self-centering drill bit like this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07P8192S4.

 

Main features

  1. Compatible with 32mm or 64mm shelf holes spacing
  2. Quick setup with no measurements required
  3. Printable on PrusaMini+ (when rotated to fit diagonally)

 

Extremely simple to use

  1. Align the small holes with two existing holes, then use two shelf pins to fix the jig to the cabinet.
  2. For added stability, use any kind of clamp to attach the jig even more securely.
  3. Drill up to 4 additional holes using the self-centering drill bit with the larger holes.
  4. Rinse and repeat.

 

Print notes

  • Use PETG for increased durability.
  • Increase the number of top / bottom layers for a solid print. Given the thickness it doesn't add much if any to the print time / material.
  • Set the option to print “External perimiters first” (PrusaSlicer) for better dimensional accuracy of the holes.
