Screen Printing Jig for Shaper Origin

The first project I've completed with my new Shaper Origin, this screen printing jig, took me about 1:40 to design, 1:15 to cut, and another 30 minutes to sand and assemble:




Materials:
Here is the SVG cut file you can load into your shaper.

Here are some spacers stacked on the long legs, fresh out of the Origin router:


Below, I'm driving 1 1/4" screws through the arms into the screen printing frame. They only protrude 1/2" into the frame, but I'm still careful to put them in the top half of the frame so they don't damage the screen mounting.


I stapled a thin slice of soft foam to one of the legs to help the foam "platen" ride at just the right height and have a positive pressure against the screen.
