Jig Generator

Jig Generator is a browser-based tool that converts STL files into print jigs and fixtures specifically for the eufyMake E1 UV printer. It allows users to configure object orientation, pocket shapes, quantities, and bed layouts, and generates either 3D-printed jigs with recessed pockets or laser-cut jig sheets from user-specified material. The tool also produces a Studio placement template as a PNG file at a user-defined resolution.

Users can add up to eight objects at a time, with each object receiving its own orientation, pocket shape, and quantity settings. The interface includes an Orientation preview that shows the object last touched, allowing users to drag it to inspect details before generating the jig.

The tool supports a variety of pre-defined shapes including golf balls (Ø 42.67 mm), ping-pong balls (Ø 40 mm), pool balls (Ø 57.15 mm), tennis balls (Ø 67 mm), baseballs (Ø 73.7 mm), and pickleballs (Ø 74 mm). It also accommodates various trading cards such as standard trading cards (63 × 88 mm), sleeved cards (66 × 91 mm), and Japanese cards (59 × 86 mm).

For pocket styles, users can choose between a thick-walled cup that stands on the plate with a spherical seat carved into it, or a deep spherical cup sunk into a solid plate. The latter option ensures the ball nests securely without sliding or spinning, with deeper cups resulting in a thicker plate.

The bed layout options include Mini (333 × 88 mm), Large (333 × 418 mm), and custom dimensions. Users can also select between flatbed, mini, or large bed configurations depending on their specific printing requirements and material needs.

The software offers multiple cut-out options including none, full ring, two sides, front and back, and three sides. Additionally, users can adjust cut-out width and depth to create petal-cup looks by setting the depth to the full cup height.

Alignment frames are provided for both Mini and Standard beds, allowing jigs to land in the same spot print after print. There are also four corner clips available specifically for holding a full-bed jig on the Large bed securely.

The tool includes a feature called 'Tight footprint' which shortens the plate to match the parts while keeping the template bed-sized with pockets placed to match. This helps optimize material usage and fit for specific part dimensions.

Users can save jobs, including loaded STL files and settings, as JSON files for backup or transfer between computers. This ensures that all configurations and data are preserved and easily accessible.

The software is designed to run entirely in the browser, meaning everything processes locally on the user's device. No uploads, accounts, or cookies are required, ensuring anonymous, cookie-free usage analytics.

The tool allows users to choose between different cup styles, such as raised or flat, and adjust cup depth in millimeters. A thick-walled cup stands on the plate with the spherical seat carved into it, keeping the plate thin and nothing fragile.

Users can select from various cup wall thicknesses and cut-out configurations, including options like '2 sides' or 'front and back'. These settings allow for precise control over how the jig interacts with the printed object.

The tool includes a feature to generate a Studio placement template as a PNG file at a user-defined resolution. This template helps in accurately positioning objects during the printing process.
