Oct 4, 2021 at 9:04 comment added Chris H ...With the printer here I'd size it to the nominal drill diameter (3.5mm clearance hole for the M3 I suggest in my answer). Then you'll need to run the drill down it to clear it because small holes usually come in a little under. If yours don't come in under size, then print 0.5mm smaller and open up with the drill. Print at 100% fill near the hole. Avoid sideways force when drilling as the plastic will cut easily. It may get loose before you've finished - either see if there's a way of duplicating the hole, print another guide, or make the drill guide a replaceable insert.
Oct 4, 2021 at 9:03 comment added Chris H I'm better equipped for hand woodworking than 3D printing (I only have access to the latter in work), so I'd just use my mitre saw and a ruler, but if you're printing up a mitre guide then I agree, adding a guide hole sounds good...
Oct 4, 2021 at 8:46 comment added N. Virgo @ChrisH I'll be making a 3D printed jig anyway, in order to cut the wood at the right angles to make the frames, so it wouldn't be much effort to add an extra hole in it for an awl or a drill bit. I don't know the best way to make a drill guide, but anything that makes each piece easier will be worth it, as there will be a lot of them.
Oct 4, 2021 at 8:34 comment added Chris H BTW I wouldn't make a jig for the holes; a paper template would be plenty, with an awl to mark the starting spot (you could even use a large woodscrew as your awl)
