Basics
- Stencils made using 3D Printing (Typically FDM 3D Printing )
- Due to their thin nature it is cents worth of filament, but provides a high quality drafting tool
- May also work with Layout Fluid to allow for hand engraving intricate designs / highly legible text and symbols into metal with nothing but a FDM 3D Printer and a Rotary Tool

Drill/Router Stencils
- This won't go into Drill Jigs / 3D Printed Jigs , but:
- I can't seem to find it, it may be an OTS thing made with injection molding, but a stencil for Can Light marking up would be quite useful
- Especially on that commercial job we were putting piles of Can Lights into a Soffit so the Laser Level helped, but then you basically had dots/hatch marks and then used a Hole Saw to kind of see things out pre-drilling, having one person zooming by with a pencil and stencil may reduce time wastage

Journaling/List Making Stencils
- *A Design Posted to the website Printables by "Eddie Prints" Titled "Post-It Note Checklist Stencil"
- works pretty well, although be sure to have what will be the top face flat down on the bed, it cannot print in mid air (obviously) (absolutely know this in an academic sense, and totally not by messing this up in slicer once
- I might want to chamfer or fillet the edge so some Ballpoint Pens can get in that slit better, works fine with pencils (and Mechanical Carpenter's Pencils i'd imagine)

- Actually is the " This Side Up ", "Keep Dry" , and "Fragile" Symbols, there can be a dedicated one for "Handle With Care" among many other interesting+useful International Packing Symbols ( HOWEVER as someone who has worked on a loading dock, due to the hectic nature management pushing for Speed above all else, i would consider Shock Indicators and even Active Packaging / Intelligent Packaging / Smart Packaging (Whatever the term is, having a data logger in there) as the only way to guarantee safe shipment, that and/or packing it very well. Opulo found some sort of official Drop Test of sorts and built to that spec, could even go MilSpec/STAGNAG, but we probably aren't airdropping anything soon lol)
