For the big template Prusaslicer includes several mating options like a dovetail. You can cut out large portions of some templates to save print time, as long as there's enough for the router base to ride. I don't have the flush cutter bits to use a 1:1 template, I have been trying to find a good workflow to create offset templates from arbitrary input shapes to use with template bushings and a straight bit.
Man, alive!! I just "happened" across this episode and, fella, you absolutely lit my fire! I've been working on some designs in the shop, but I just haven't worked out a few wrinkles yet. However, watching you build that "double-ended" cutting/food/charcuterie board, I found myself saying "Aha!" out loud. I have some "luxury lazy susans" in the production line (I have a URL to my luxury lazy susans, but won't post a URL here, because I feel like that's taboo) and need to get them moved on through the process. I've made about 60-70 of them in the past year and a half by using a variety of hardwoods...and I cannot keep people from ordering them. I'm already booked until next October, but watching this one video made me think that I can use some new twists. For sure, I'll give you credit. Too, I just gave away my Artillery Sidewinder X1 v4 3D printer this week to a young fella who is gonna add that to his printer farm. Now, after watching your episode, I feel something tugging on my wallet to make me order one of the current models that is far superior to my Sidewinder X1. I can see more ways that another 3D printer, coupled with my laser engraver, will give me some new ways to stretch my old 76-year-old wings! (I began my teaching career by teaching Industrial Arts to 8th and 9th graders...and still have 149 of my former students from 40 years ago in my private Facebook group. So, I'll be sharing a link to your video with them, because I just cannot quit teaching. It's in my DNA!) Thanks for your keen inspiration! ~Dr. Larry S. Anderson • Tupelo, MS (birthplace of Elvis!)
Hello and thank you for sharing. I’m glad you got some new ideas. I recently bought myself the Bambu lab printer. I have been very happy with it so far. I’m a teacher as well. 22 years in so far. (History)
I do this a lot, I have a cr10s and the Ender 3 pro and am always looking for ways to incorporate my 3d printing into my woodworking. I print templates for mounting feet on cabinets as well as handle jigs and even some tools. I typically use 40 percent infill when using pla using 4 walls, so they don’t warp with the heat in the garage. Awesome video by the way!
for @3:10 You can design a puzzle piece into the 3D design and then depending on the material used, glue them together permanently (ABS: Acetone, PLA: CA glue etc.) This way you aren't using multiple materials and steps to get to the final template
@Daniel Cardona sure ! I just make a nice rounded spline shape, but any parametric shape will work! Just make sure to use the sketch as a cutting tool and offset the faces according to the extrusion width of your printer :)
Hi I'm trying to get into wood working and I'm wondering do you have 2 routers one for the table and one for hand use or do you mount and unmount the one you use by hand?
I do have two routers. Originally, I only had one. It was the larger one 2 1/4 hp. Then I bought smaller one 1 1/4 hp. I usually leave the larger one in the router table and use the smaller one to do a lot of the roundovers and chamfers
@@ArtisanMade OK thank you I'm about to get a table I only have one router currently so I will have to take it off the table from time to time till I get a second one
When printing multiple pieces like this, I’ll often incorporate a dovetail into the design and then tap it together with a mallet. You can avoid the taping that way.
@@ArtisanMade thanks. People say higher but it's a guide not a structural piece. You can feel the resistance against the router. How many pieces can you go through with one template before you have to trash it because it gets worn down from the metal head? I'm assuming like 2mm error over 50 pieces, 1mm over 25.
I have a laser that I use to make templates. I also have a cnc. But I just got a 3D printer for Christmas. Now I want to make some templates with it. LOL. I will probably make the corner rounding one. I just want to use the 3D printer to make all the things! LOL> Is there any other items you’ve printed to use in your shop?
This video is great and shows good examples of the use of a 3d printer in woodworking. However, when you do the shots with your table saw, please, do not show unsafe technique! Using your hand as a push stick to the right of the blade is just stupid. People watching the video might pick up bad habits which could result in serious injury. Other than that, great content!
This was the final straw in my decision to purchase a 3D printer. It's going to unlock unbelievable potential for my side business.

Came here to say this. There are so many crazy applications.

If you are using PLA as material you can use superglue to attach the pieces. The bond will be very, very strong.
Really I got a 3d Printer last year. Excited to incorporate mine into my woodwork.

Good video. Great ideas. I use a laser cutter to make templates out of MDF or acrylic.
I wish I had room for one in my shop.
If you are using sketchup, what file format do you have to save your work in?
I've already done this. Honestly, it was a natural evolution of my work for me to use 3d printing with my woodworking
for @3:10

basically, dovetails!

Brilliant - really enjoyed watching this.
I've used this technique several times although eventually I caved and bought a shaper origin which makes doing this almost a doddle. 🤗
Those are great machines. I’m going to need a couple hundred thousand more subscribers to justify buying one of those to the wife.
Wow this video was so much fun to watch! Nicely done :)
For people who have issues with printing speeds - a 0.6 or a 0.8 will make a world of a difference in printing speed compared to the standard 0.4!
Wouldn't call 0.4 standard.
@@Atheism-And-Normative-Ethics for best balance of time and detail probably yeah. But different nozzles for different use cases.
@@Atheism-And-Normative-Ethics Nearly every printer on the market ships with a .4 mm nozzle and has so for 5+ years. Standard is the appropriate word.
@@-Primer- yeah you're right
What kind of filament are you using for these templates? Thanks!
I use pla and petg
@ArtisanMade does PLA stand up to router template work??
Hi I'm trying to get into wood working and I'm wondering do you have 2 routers one for the table and one for hand use or do you mount and unmount the one you use by hand?

@@ArtisanMade OK thank you I'm about to get a table I only have one router currently so I will have to take it off the table from time to time till I get a second one
can you do the something similar using hand routers?
Yes. I have used some of these with hand routers.
You can connect them using joints in the model rather than just trying to line up 2 straight lines of different pieces, also, UHMW over acrylic
There is an elbow that will get your dust collection hose out of the way of your material. It is made for your dewalt planer.
Yes you are right. I found a free file and printed it on my 3d printer. Game changer.
When printing multiple pieces like this, I’ll often incorporate a dovetail into the design and then tap it together with a mallet. You can avoid the taping that way.
Do you simply model the full object and split into two or do you have to allow any tolerances to cater for the printing process?
@@stuffoflardohfortheloveof if your printer is properly set up, no need for high tolerances for this type of work, just split and print
Great stuff. Although, you do not seem to be getting any kick backs when routing? What type of the router bit you use please?
flush trim bit
awesome video@@
Thank you
When you are creating the 3D template, what is the infill setting?
Thank you for posting this info / how to video - great idea!
I used a 10% fill
@@ArtisanMade thanks. People say higher but it's a guide not a structural piece. You can feel the resistance against the router.

what filament are you using?
That was pla but petg would be good too.
Nice video! Very helpful tips. Ps. Didn’t know Al Bundy had another son! 😉
I noticed his striking resemblance to Ed O'Neill too, but you were quicker with your comment 😂

Where did you download the 3d printed handle jig?
I made it, but I’m sure you can find some if you search google.
where can you get such template file?
I designed them in sketchup.
@@ArtisanMade I use tinkercad but it’s very limited
If you're savvy enough to make a 3D print, and you want a larger acrylic template, you could also consider getting it laser cut.
I want a co2 laser but I’m waiting for one of these companies to offer a free one. lol
@@ArtisanMade hey I don't blame you!
For this work: Laser Cutter > CNC > 3D Printer
It would be nice to have a cnc but 3d Printers are smaller and cost a lot less
Do you sale templates?
Sorry I do not
I do!
What material do u use for your templates? I always have problem with the template melting when I use PETG
I use pla because my printer sucks with petg
I used the template to template the templates
You know you kinda sound like jon lovitz. Not a bad thing i just thought I'd share that
What plate are you using in your router table??
It’s a cheap one I bought on Amazon years ago.
This video is great and shows good examples of the use of a 3d printer in woodworking.

You ever going to add a laser engraved into your shop?
I wish i could, but I don't have the room unless I get rid of something.
Show off! 😏🤣
