Here are my must have tools that make building cabinets so much easier 👇🏻 All printed on my @BAMBULAB Official 3D printer.
1. Pocket hole jig. This is the holy grail of cabinet building. It’s super quick joinery that’s still strong and extremely easy to use.
2. Right angle clamps. These are must haves when buildng cabinets. They keep everything square while you put the pieces together. If you don’t have a square cabinet, your doors and drawers won’t work properly.
3. Glue bottle roller. This makes the job so much faster. Just screw on the roller to your glue bottle, squeeze and you’ll roll a perfect glue line that spreads equally to ensure the best hold.
4. Shelf pin jig. Having adjustable shelves is a must, especially when it comes to kitchen cabinets. A jig will make drilling those holes easy and repeatable so you know your shelf will be level no matter where you put it.

Building cabinets can be a rewarding experience, especially when you have the right tools to make the process smoother and more precise. From my experience, having tools like the pocket hole jig can significantly speed up joinery tasks without sacrificing strength. Using right angle clamps is essential to ensure every corner stays square, which is critical for doors and drawers to function properly. One tool that has honestly changed my workflow is the glue bottle roller. It might sound simple, but it makes applying an even layer of glue a breeze and greatly improves adhesion quality. For adjustable shelving, a shelf pin jig is indispensable. It allows you to drill perfectly spaced holes so shelves sit level no matter where you place them—a real game-changer for kitchen cabinets. What’s interesting is how 3D printing can complement traditional woodworking—customizing or creating these tools with a 3D printer like the @BAMBULAB offers a personalized touch and quick replacement or modification options.
