SLAB / Caliburn / TalonClaw 4 Hole Template (imperial)

This is a center-punch / drill template for the aluminium bars used in the Caliburn 4, Talon Claw 4 and the SLAB.

Since i wanted to make the bars for he SLAB myself (importing too expensive), i had to know the exact position for drilling the screwholes.

These hole-guides (based on the measurements provided by SillyButts GitHub, thank you very much sir),

It simply clips onto the end of the aluminum bars; then you can either use a center-punch to start the holes or simply use a small drill to drill right through the template.

The holes in the template are not the final diameter, just to get you started.

Works surprisingly well...

This also allows you to decide, which size threads you want to use, if any at all.

The templates are marked (C4 / TC4), since the hole spacing is slightly different for each blaster.

Please note: this is for the standard / imperial version (1/2 inch / 12,7mm) of the SLAB / C4 /TC4. The bars for the metric version are slightly thinner (12mm)

Notes:

Print upside down, flat side on the buildplate. No supports are needed, use rafts/brim at your own discretion.

Depending on your tolerances this can be a nice, tight fit. If it's too lose, use a small piece of double sided tape to secure in place.
