Description
Tired of crooked threaded inserts making your projects look like they were assembled by a blindfolded raccoon? Say hello to your new four-legged workshop buddy! This 3D-printed dog-shaped jig isn’t just cute—it’s a precision tool that guarantees your inserts go in perfectly square every single time. No more eyeballing, no more cursing, just pure, unadulterated alignment bliss.
Pop the friction-fit lid on this clever canine’s body, which includes two secret chambers to stash your threaded inserts.
Slide a screw through the dog’s head (don’t worry, it’s designed for this), lock two nuts together on the end, and leave a bit of thread exposed.
Screw Lenght: 90mm or longer
Attach your insert, and the nuts will stop it at just the right spot. Screw it into your pre-drilled hole and voilà: your insert is now square, secure, and ready for action. Just remove the screw and watch your insert sit perfectly aligned.
When you’re done, just lift the lid and stash your leftover inserts in the dog’s body. Close it up, and your workspace stays as neat as a dog’s conscience (which, admittedly, is pretty clean).
Ready to ditch crooked inserts and add a little canine charm to your workshop? Fetch this jig and start working smarter, not harder.
PS: Few supports needed to hold the head in the right place.
