Stand for the Kreg R3 jig

thingiverse

Made a stand for the Kreg R3 jig. It was inspired by this triple pocket hole jig stand (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2816165). But that one was made for a printed jig, and I already had a Kreg R3. Just remove the round clamp plate from the R3 and insert into the stand. It's made to allow for anything from 1/2" board to a 2x4 and uses the R3's built-in sizing guide. Also made using this clamp: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004K60H08/ but I replaced the tip with a slightly longer 1-1/2 inch long (counting just the threaded part) 5/16 inch bolt to allow for greater adjust-ability. It's printed in PLA at over 60% infill. And as shown in the picture, the clamp has to be mounted slightly higher than the stand & spaced apart to allow anything from a 1/2 inch board to a 2x4. I mounted mine using a 3/4 board & a piece of 2x4. The two smaller printed side pieces help with wider boards. I just built an enclosure for my Ender 3 pro with this setup. It's much easier to use an R3 this way than the old way. Edit: added a couple of vents that are useful when doing a lot of thinner boards. Plus slightly enlarged the inner well that makes it possible to work with 1/2" boards, to allow for different tolerances of various Kreg's R3 made over the years.
