There are many WDT tools here on Printables, but they all seem to need you to buy acupuncture needles for them. Call me a skinflint, but I've got literally hundreds of glass-head dressmaking pins here, and I thought it would be better to use some of them instead.

The pin holes are pretty small, and are about right for me, but your printer might have different tolerances, so I've included the source file. Change the “pin_shaft_diameter” parameter to make the holes bigger or smaller. You'll need the BOSL2 library, from https://github.com/BelfrySCAD/BOSL2.

I've listed this as a remix of jkim_makes' model; I haven't used that model itself, but I copied the placement and angle of the pins from it, which saved me all the actual work, so they deserve the credit.
