02 The work
What to send us
- The part being located, or a model of it
- The hole pattern or locating features
- A photo of the operation
- The load the guide sees, in plain language
- Which surfaces have to stay accurate
Fit and limits
A printed guide is for the load and the accuracy you describe. We do not quote a numeric tolerance. Tell us which dimensions matter.
How we approach it
We design the guide around the operation you repeat and quote it before any work begins.
Typical uses
- Drill guides
- Assembly fixtures
- Alignment jigs
Materials
- PETG
- ABS / ASA
- Nylon / carbon fiber
PETG for most guides. Nylon when the fixture carries a higher load. We confirm that on the quote.
03 Questions
Questions about this work
How accurate is a printed guide?
Accurate enough for the fit you describe, not a machined gauge. We do not guarantee a numeric tolerance. Name the dimensions that matter and we will quote with that in mind.
Can it take a load?
Tell us what the guide has to resist. We will say if a printed fixture is a poor fit and recommend a material only when it is.
What if I only have a sketch?
A sketch with dimensions is enough to quote. Design support is optional on the quote form.
