I managed to finished my project thanks to a 3D printed router copying guide

My router (makita) was supplied with a copying guide but the opening was too small.

I've look online but I could not managed to find the right size so I did what any sane person would do: print one

Edit: more pictures of the result a dinosaur shaped observation tower another picture of the observation tower with a kid standing on it

It's absolutely the perfect application of 3D printing. Low stress, simple parts that are often consumable but do require some degree of accuracy. Good work.
I use my 3d printer sooo often to print templates for the router. A handheld router and a 3d printer are a combination made in heaven, I love it so much!
What was your project?
- I've made a dino shaped kitchen helper tower for my two kids.
  
  I've made a big 3D printed template for it and I still need to print the eyes and spine. It's a woodworking project full of 3D printing !
