Description
The tread template that WCP sells is too expensive (It's $60). This one is cheaper (by a lot). Each half does NOT fit on a Prusa MK2/3/s/+ (sorry). With some cutting of corners (literally) you could probably fit this on a Prusa MK2/3/s/+ bed. Due to how I designed it you have to position the parts manually (sorry again).
The 4 holes on the rim of the bottom half are for 8/32 bolts so you can mount the top half and not have anything move while you are drilling. The tread needs to be cut to 11.25" long.
THIS DESIGN ONLY WORKS WITH BLUE NITRILE TREAD. ALSO, THIS JIG IS FOR THE OLD TREAD PATTERN.
The total cost is about 95% cheaper than the WCP one.
Edit 08/19/2022: Added a version that can be printed on the MK2/3/s/+. The part needs to be rotated about 38.4 degrees (photo included).
