Jig and support to help with cutting to length and grinding flats on the 5mm rod used in the Skelestruder

  • do check the depth of the flats and location outside the guide
  • flat widths are 5 mm (instructions say flat width should be 4mm or greater)
  • the saw should be flush with the edge of slot towards the middle of the jig, this slot is 3mm wide

  • I uploaded a lower jig to speed up print time and use less material...
    • see "skele_rod_grinding_jig_lower.stl" in the thing files
  • used for grinding the flat parts I used my Proxxon 90 degree mount and dremel cutting disk to grind the flat parts and start the cut.
  • I ended up finishing the cut by putting the rod into a vise and using a hacksaw
