Abstract

Custom 3D-printed drill jigs are introduced, allowing the placement of holes at precise locations on wooden balls. These simple devices, together with widely available tools and materials, are all that is needed to create custom ball-and-stick models. Design principles for drill jigs are discussed, as are tips for working with them and examples of works amenable to these construction techniques.
