Sanding Block

thingiverse

Premise ==================== I saw this video on YT [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjsNK7sY41o ] where the guy made a wood sanding block. It was a simple design , but worth a try for the odd sized generc sanding paper set that I own. [ https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08NPM9B5L ]. Sanding Paper ==================== The sanding papers are 9 x 3.6 Inch , so I designed this block in a way where we can make 4 horizontal pieces that can be installed on the block. Print Instructions ==================== You will have to print 1xBlock and 2xPlates. There is no need for supports. Infil can be as low as 10% (may be lower will work as well). Just add 3 top and bottom layers and 3 perimeter lines(walls ) for the block. Plate can do with 3 botom layers and couple of walls. I printed with PETG , 0.6mm nozzle and 0.3mm layer height Assembly ==================== The model does need 4 M3x6mm or longer screws to hold it together. You will also have to drill holes in the block for the screws, I didnt do it on the STL to avoid increasing the print duration and complexity for handling the holes. Even a hand drill with a 2.5mm bit can do the job. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions !
