Mitre Fence for 10MW LTJ30 Printable

These are the files you'll need to 3D print your own version of the Mitre Fence for the previous generation 10MinuteWorkshop Loose Tenon Jig 30.

NOTE: This is the discontinued CNCd laminated fibreboard loose tenon jig, this fence will not fit any other jig.

The 30mm dogs moulded into the face of the fence fit snugly into the two upper 30mm holes in body of the LTJ30, and I’ve had excellent results simply adding some double-sided tape between the jig and the fence - adding some pressure from a clamp can help. If you prefer to screw the two parts together there’s an access hole through the jig for you to drill a hole and drive a screw into the jig, but note that I'm unsure of the long-term affects of this - I recommend using double-sided tape.

The jig will only connect with with the LTJ30 body which is used to machine wider mortices; to cut narrower mortices there are a pair of shims that fit into the sides of the guide bush slot to reduce its width; again I’d recommend a small piece of double-sided tape or masking tape to secure these; when not in use the shims can be stored within the mitre fence. 

3D Printing Notes:

Please read the Release Notes included in the zipped file, and note the terms of the licence, in brief (and not limited to): 

• No sharing or redistributing 
• No remixing
• Non-commercial use only

Note that the body of the fence is 246mm wide so your printer must be large enough to accommodate this.

You’ll receive STL files for the Mitre fence and 3mm shim; you’ll need to print a pair of the shims as noted above, these are used to make the narrower mortices.

For the fence to fit the jig it needs to be precisely printed, and in my experience 3D printers can vary. The base of the mitre fence is 246mm wide - this ensures a snug fit in the 30mm guide bush holes - so if you’re unsure of the accuracy of your printer, perhaps make a test eg print the first few mm then stop the print and check the measurement once cooled and settled. If the size is a little out then you can scale this up or down in your slicer.

Prints have been made on a BambuLab P1s in PETG filament using the default settings in BambuStudio and it appears to be very strong and perfectly usable. I’ve printed this with the base of the jig flat on the build plate - as you’d have the base flat against a workpiece.

General usage

The fence fits into the body of the jig using the top two 30mm guide bush holes; the fence can be screwed to the jig, but I’ve had good results just using double-sided tape.
