How To Make And Use 3D Printed Router Templates / DIY Router Templates / Woodworking Hacks
In this video I will show you another way to use a 3D printer in your workshop. The primary focus is is how to use 3D printed templates to expand what you can do with your router. Router templates can allow you to make repeatable shapes and designs using a flush trim bit.

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
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 sale templates?
When you are creating the 3D template, what is the infill setting?
Thank you for posting this info / how to video – great idea!
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!

Great stuff. Although, you do not seem to be getting any kick backs when routing? What type of the router bit you use please?
Really I got a 3d Printer last year. Excited to incorporate mine into my woodwork.
What material do u use for your templates? I always have problem with the template melting when I use PETG
I’ve already done this. Honestly, it was a natural evolution of my work for me to use 3d printing with my woodworking
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!
Nice video! Very helpful tips. Ps. Didn’t know Al Bundy had another son! 😉
I used the template to template the templates
awesome video@@
Thank you
Wow this video was so much fun to watch! Nicely done 🙂
