Drill guide with dust collector, hand free (print-in-place)

Hand free operation as it is held by the drill bit! Could be especially helpful for drilling holes for wall plugs.

Description

Here is a simple drill assist tool.

UPDATE 10/12/2024 - increased tolerances a bit and added a cross to the adaptors. All files are now in .3mf format.

Main features:

  • Fits onto a drill bit
  • Held by the drill bit
  • Integrated dust collector
  • Linear motion
  • Visibility of the drill bit tip and the drilling material
  • Print-in-place

Just add a rubber band of the tension that suits you, can be the same with several loops/knots.

There is a 6 mm drill bit adaptor in the main file, but can be easily replaced with 5, 4 or 3 mm. Let me know if different sizes are required.

The gaps are mostly 0.2 mm, which works nicely for my printer. If your printer can achieve higher accuracy, you may need to adjust some setting or let me know and I can upload a file with higher tolerances.

There is also a file without any dust collectors, pure for linear motion. Could be used if drilling vertically down. And there is a file with 3 dust collectors.

Happy drilling!
