I design because I genuinely love bringing new ideas to life and sharing them with the community. If you have a Boost token available, I’d be incredibly grateful if you considered boosting this model. Your support helps me get more PLA from the Bambu Lab store so I can keep printing, testing, and releasing even more designs. I've got a ton of ideas lined up - and boosting helps make sure they don’t get shelved before I can bring them to life. Thanks for helping me keep creating!
One of the common challenges in leathercraft, particularly when gluing pieces together, is the tendency for the “inner” leather to bubble up and detach from the glue when you bend it. This is particularly messy when you're making bifold wallets. This can compromise the integrity and appearance of the project.
To prevent that, you can make a bending jig. Usually, you'll find these made out of wood, but why buy it when you can print it? This is our version of said jig: The 3D Leather Bending Tool Triangle - This bending jig addresses this issue by providing a controlled, uniform bending radius that minimizes stress on the glued joints. This helps give you a smooth and secure bond as the leather conforms to the desired shape. The goal is to help your bends maintain the quality and durability of your leather goods.
- Bending Widths: 10mm, 12mm, 15mm.
Instructions:
- Take two pieces of leather and apply glue to the rough sides.
- Select the desired bending width on the jig.
- Position your leather pieces as marked on the jig.
- Apply pressure evenly to fold the leather over the jig, creating a perfect bend.
PS: You can change the dimensions in one direction only and make this taller. In case you want a much larger piece.
