Every Maker or Woodworker, sooner or later, will build—or try to build—a cutting board. And after cutting, gluing, and assembling the wood, they’ll come face to face with a bitter truth: they don’t own a planer. Or worse—their planer is too small.

[S.L.E.D.] solves that problem.
Thanks to a set of well-thought-out and engineered solutions, it goes beyond the basic function of a sled. It does more. It becomes The First Modular Surfacing/Router Sled. Read More About [S.L.E.D.]

[THE BASE]

Print Files + Step-By-Step Instructions

You don’t need anyone or anything. 
Just give you the print files, and you’ll handle the rest. You’ll source the hardware. You’ll craft the plate. You get the tubes.
But remember: with great power comes great responsibility.

Printable files for every single component. You won’t need to worry about a thing—except choosing the final color. STL files are generic, while 3MF files come pre-configured with optimized print settings: print orientation, layer height, infill—everything dialed in for the best result.

A detailed guide not just on how to assemble and use your [S.L.E.D.], but also how to produce it. Monkey-proof instructions and real pre-print help: from calibrating your printer to picking the right filament.

The instructions also include the complete list of the required hardware—screws, bolts, and bearings—plus a full-scale 1:1 template of the plate, so that you can assemble the carriage completely on your own without buying the hardware kit or the universal plate.

 

[ADD-ONS]

Universal Plate + Hardware Kit

Screws, bolts, nuts, springs...
Everything you need to put your [S.L.E.D.] together, neatly catalogued and labeled to match the instructions. Aside from what’s included here, the only other thing you’ll need is love.


The Universal Plate is the heart of the system: transparent, tough, and compatible with most routers on the market.


Custom Systainer

If you’re the type who can’t stand clutter, and believes everything should have a place and every place its thing—this is the add-on for you.
A custom Systainer where every single part of [S.L.E.D.] fits perfectly. Neat, tidy, ready to be stored or taken on the road.


N.B. The Universal Plate + Hardware Kit add-on and the Custom Systainer add-on do not include the print files; they are intended solely as optional components that complement the standard Print Files + Step-By-Step Instructions package.

F.A.Q.

What is the maximum achievable size?

The size mostly depends on the rigidity of the tubes you decide to use and on the maximum length available on the market. We recommend placing a middle support every meter (40 in) of length.

What is the minimum and maximum milling height?

Although it actually depends on the router's plunge depth and the length of the bit, we can say the minimum height is 0, which means you can mill the surface the sled rests on. The maximum height depends on how many spacers are installed on the corner and middle supports, so technically there is no maximum milling height.

What kind of tubes can I use?

Any tube with an outer dimension of 25 mm (1 in) x 25 mm (1 in).

What is the minimum workable footprint?

It’s not possible to give a minimum footprint, as it depends on the router bit used.
As a general rule, subtract about 30 cm (11 in) from each side of the sled’s outer dimensions.
Example: a 1 m (40 in) x 1 m (40 in) sled has an approximate milling area of 70 cm (27 in) x 70 cm (27 in).

Is the plate compatible with my router?

Can the router be stored in the Systainer or just the [S.L.E.D.]?

Only the [S.L.E.D.] components can be stored in the Systainer.

Do the instructions list the required hardware?

Absolutely. The documentation will list both the quantity and type of hardware needed.

Do the instructions include technical drawings for the plate?

Yes :-)

What filament is recommended?

You can use any filament you like — even simple PLA. The structure of the parts has been specifically designed to ensure strength and rigidity. Materials like PLA-CF are strongly discouraged due to their brittleness.

How much filament is needed to print all the parts?

This varies depending on print orientation and support use, but approximately 1.5 kg of filament is needed to complete all components, including accessories.

How long does it take to print all the parts?

There’s no definitive answer — it depends on your filament and printer.
For reference: printing in PLA on a Bambu X1C takes about 35 hours of actual printing time.

How can I know if the print will work on my printer?

Included in the print files and instructions is a set of tests to perform before starting the actual prints. These will help you fine-tune your printer and ensure proper tolerances for [S.L.E.D.].

What specifications does my 3D printer need?

All components are designed to be printed with an FDM printer that has a build volume of at least 220 x 220 x 250 mm (8.7" x 8.7" x 9.8"). Anyway, the files include a split version of the largest part, designed to be printed on smaller printers and then assembled.
So yes, you can totally print it even with your A1 Mini
