Drill template for mounting handles on doors.
| Part | What it does |
|---|---|
drill_template |
Template for the door's top right corner; fences hook over the right and top edges, holes 28 mm from both edges and 96 mm apart |
drill_gauge |
Optional: holes from 5.0 to 5.4 mm to check which clearance your drill bit runs in without wobble |
Status: drill template ready to print with a 5 mm drill and 0.2 mm clearance
(params.py).
Options
Where the holes go is the template's to choose (options.py); it builds for
any values within these limits. Everything else is a fixed number in
params.py.
| Option | Default | Limits | |
|---|---|---|---|
spacing |
96 | 32 to 224 mm | screw centre distance of the handle |
edge_offset |
28 | 20 to 100 mm | side edge of the door to the screw centre line; also the length of the fence on the top or bottom edge |
end_offset |
28 | 10 to 100 mm | the corner's top or bottom edge of the door to the screw nearest to it |
corner |
top_right |
top_right, top_left, bottom_right, bottom_left |
the corner of the door the template hooks over, seen from the front |
Four corners make two printed parts: a template turned half round fits the
diagonally opposite corner, so bottom_left prints the same part as
top_right, and bottom_right the same as top_left. corner still says
where it goes: the model and the STEP sit at that corner. The template is
end_offset + spacing + 19 mm long: at the upper limits (343 mm) longer than
most print beds.
Built and exported (VARIANTS in options.py), each with a model of its own
and its part on a door to look at (..._on_door):
| Variant | Options |
|---|---|
drill_template |
the defaults: the one in use |
drill_template_top_left |
corner="top_left" |
drill_template_128 |
spacing=128 |
For another configuration, add it to VARIANTS and give it its two @model
functions in drill_template.py. Two variants that would print the same part
are refused.
