Drilling Bounding Ring #3DThursday #3DPrinting

Simple tools for getting the perfect depth. From mishkin2 on Thingiverse:

When I needed a depth limiter for the drill, I downloaded models from other authors. These are interesting models with a collet lock. But in fact, they were useless, because the fixation on the drill was insufficient and the limiters simply slipped, especially when working with the hammer drill. So I created my own drilling depth limiter design.

I made three of the most popular diameters for drilling with a hammer drill 6-8-10mm. However, you can use the source file to modify it for yourself.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
