Custom Storyboards

Custom 3D printed storyboards bring precision and repeatability to your turning projects. By taking a simple profile image of your finished object and combining it with a few key dimensions, I can create a story board that fits your design exactly. This tool acts as a reliable reference, allowing you to reproduce the same item multiple times with ease.

Instead of relying on guesswork or constant measuring, you have a physical guide that shows the correct proportions and dimensions and profiles right at the lathe. Whether you’re producing matching spindles, bowls, or decorative beads, a custom story board saves time, ensures accuracy, and makes higher-volume production straightforward.

  • Best fit: storyboards are modelled precisely so you can easily replicate your favourite turned pieces.
  • Repeatable production: quickly reproduce identical items with reference dimensions at hand.
  • Cut off tips: Allow for gauging of adjacent, or recessed beads. 

Precision Engineered

Tolerances within +-0.1mm for consistent results.

Consistent Layouts

Makes your favourite pieces repeatable for consistent sets. 

Time Saving

Reduces guesswork and speeds up setup for dimensional turning.

Do not Use on Moving Lathe
Daily Cleaning

Friction from moving wood on the lathe will heat up the PLA plastic and cause it to deform or wear. 

Avoid High Heat

Keep away from direct sunlight and heat sources, such as radiators, or hot cars. PLA softens around 60 °C. 

Avoid Direct Sunlight

UV from sunlight can weaken PLA over time.

Keep Dry

Prolonged moisture can weaken PLA over time.
