As you may know from our recent blog updates we’ve been busy with home renovations. We’re up to a point where we’ve moved in to the house but still have quite a few jobs left to do before we can call that place done.

One of the many small jobs left was to attach the door handles to the cabinetry throughout the house in the kitchen, bathroom/laundry, bedrooms and loungeroom. While it may have been easy to knock up a template from a piece of scrap timber, I’d had great success using 3D printed items in the past with our spool storage unit, end table and 3d printing cabinets.

The whole house needed eight templates in all including left door, right door and drawer centres for three different offsets. I really like using variables in the CAD software so that once the base template has been designed, it’s easy to copy the part and change the required variables to output another unique part.
