Makita Jigsaw Adapter for Wolfcraft FKS 115 Rail

Since I wanted to connect my Makita jigsaw 4531 with my Wolfcraft FKS 115 rail, I came across the awesome design from Lucian_f. You can use it from either direction and the openings at the bottom of the guide make for a clean cut without tearing. The cut edge is 50mm from the rail and is indicated by a mark.

I printed the model several times with PETG, but each time without success. Because of the size of the model, I ran into significant problems with shrinking and warping, which meant that the jigsaw didn't fit in the holder and the guide didn't fit on the rail.

I therefore decided to remix it, splitting the guide into two parts. The part for the rail guide can now be printed upside down, resulting in less distortion and therefore a smoother and more accurate run in the rail. Furthermore, supports are no longer required for this part.

The two parts are connected with five M3 x 20 screws. Three screws would have been sufficient, but this looks more like heavy duty ;-)

The jigsaw holder fits Makita's 453x and DJV18x models.

The Makita lettering is only decoration and not part of this model. I found the logo here on Thingiverse and printed it with white PETG at a height of 0.9mm and then attached it with glue. It looks nice, but has no effect on the function. That's why I didn't upload it.

If you want to print this with PLA, you should rather use the original Thing:5197635, because the dimensions of this model take the shrinkage of PETG into account. I did not measure it during design, but after printing.
