Trimming Centering Tool

This is an awesome tool!

When trimming your ceramic pieces, you need the object to be right in the center of the wheel. This can be somewhat hard to do, because you often overcorrect and have to retry. This tool brings all three grips in at the same time, so that the piece is in the exact center every time.

I've combined these grips and the tool from this model, created a print profile that fits on the A1 mini, and changed around the print settings so it prints a bit faster and a bit stronger than the original.

Try and print the dovetail test first to see if your printers tolerances are up to scratch, though this wasn't a problem for my A1 mini with no significant modifications. You'll also need 3 M3 screws (I used 16mm length) and nuts, I grabbed some from Home Depot for just a couple bucks. These are used to hold the 3 top pieces together. You'll also need bat screws if you don't already have any, but you can purchase these easily on Amazon, just make sure to get the right length of screws for your wheel's head (I used these ones).

The tool will match up with a 30 cm (12") wheel head, but as long as your bat pins are 25cm (10") apart, it should fit on your wheel!
