3D Chair Leg Jig
I wanted to make a stool with the scraps of two different chairs that both had salvageable parts. Another factor was wanting the legs angled out 15 degrees in both the X and Y direction. Since I do not have a band or table saw, this is a very difficult cut to perform. So I made a model in Fusion 360 of the stool and took out the negative space. Then I 3D printed this guide with a hole for the screw mount to keep it in place while being cut. This hole will also be the pilot for the screw in final assembly.
This 3D guide was a perfect tool for my hand saw to follow. I labeled each side and how deep the cut would be. I also 3D printed two more since my saw would scrape the PLA edges, which helped made exact, repeatable cuts.
