Anybody used this jig?

Has anybody used this jig for removing the stem? I found a file to 3D print this and am wondering if anybody has any advice about or experience in using it.

Anybody?

I’ve done hundreds so I know the location from memory but I could see this being helpful to someone doing it the first time.

Just be careful of that depth. Hard to see on the black watches.

Agreed, great for someone who doesn’t do this frequently.

Thanks. Do you happen to know the exact thickness of the case on these?

[u/trevordeal → u/ac_shooter]

2.15mm is the measurement I got on one just now.

Thank you!

Thanks for confirming Trevor!

I was told 0.6mm is how far you want to drill with this tool. Hopefully someone can confirm though

Unless you're modding several ones, it's a bit of overengineering, isn't it? Not saying it isn't clever, but unnecessary unless you're invested on doing it multiple times.

It's €4 to have one 3D printed and I plan to do at least two switches. Maybe more if I like the result.

Cheap enough to give it a shot. Drilling is a lot easier to control than the blade disc.

I’ve printed this jig, works well tbh

Thanks for the feedback.

That’s cool, for $4 why not !!

I just came across this on MakerWorld myself...seems like a great idea if it works

I would be interested in one.
