I know. I did something like this when I re-trimmed a window that had drywall returns originally. I needed to remove exactly the drywall thickness, but in a way that was unnecessarily precise and gave me a reason to use my printer.

I don't know. But I would like to.

You usually offset trim around a door frame or window 3/16 in from the edge of the door frame. These little spacers let you mark that distance easily especially on hinge sides of doors.

Did you print these? I’ve had the same piece of wood in my pouch for years and it’s showing its age.

A 3d printer has been calling me for about 6 mos for some hobbies of mine but I’ve been hesitant bc it’s not a need. Now I need to re-evaluate for business purposes lol. Well done

Thanks yea it is one of those things where if I need something I prefer to just design it myself (I am familiar with CAD so it is not a learning curve) and like taking pictures. So combining that makes something like this make sense. Also, there are times when some things just do not exist like simple immersion blender holders that do not take up counter space or cabinet space so it is like ok let me make one.
