3d printed hinge jig for router

[Banzai_Joe]

Hi all,
thinking of getting into this 3d printing malarky.
As a project (and waaay overkill) would it be possible for a 3d printer to accurately print out a rectangle say 200mm x 80mm x 12mm thick with a cutout in the centre measuring 26mm x 57mm?
Would the edges of the cutout be perfectly straight? Or would it depend on printer resolution and type of material used?
Basically i want to create some cutout templates for when i'm putting hinges and latches onto doors. They would be used as guides for my router and would sit inside a wooden frame that i'd make myself. So interchangeable 3d printed templates depending on size of latch/hinge i'm using.
I've made my own wooden ones which work fine, but i'm interested to see if it can be done and would go a way into convincing me to buy a 3d printer for other projects too.
If anyone would be willing to have a crack at doing one for me, i'd be willing to pay for it. It's the interest more than the cost (as long as its not crazy money).

Cheers

Thanks for the replies guys.
I can use the free (online) version of sketchup to create the simple shapes I need and then export as an STL file.
I guess my main question is that it depends on the actual 3d printer and the filaments used as to how accurate and robust it will be?
What are your recommendations for a beginners 3d printer?

So accuracy is gonna be pretty much the same 0.1-0.3mm between most printers. Material wise entry level printers can print PLA and lower temp PETg, PETg being a more robust material out of the two.

The Ender 3 is a great starter printer, go for an Ender 3 Pro or Ender 3 v2, to start with don't worry about upgrades just use and see how you get on.

is there a deal of difference between the Ender 3 Pro and the Ender 3 v2? Or were you just quoting the different names that model goes by?

edit: NVM, i found a comparison online. For the extra £80 it might be worth getting the v2? (according to the review i read).

Ok, pulled the trigger on the Ender 3 v2 for £239.
So, what filament should i buy? my first project will be a flat plate of 150mm x 80mm x 12mm with a 26mm x 57mm cutout in the middle of it. This will fit into a jig for a router to route out the shape for hinges and latch.
Needs to be quite sturdy i guess.

Thanks bulb66.
what design software do you use?
I've lost most of Sketchup knowledge so it won't be such a big deal to start with something different, maybe FreeCAD? and Cura as the splicer?
