Caliper holder for vertical mounting

thingiverse

A simple caliper holder designed to be affixed with wood screws or metal screws to anything -- in my case, the cart on which my Solidoodle stands, but it should work on most anything else. Specifically designed to fit the popular Neiko 01407A Stanless Steel 6-Inch Digital Caliper with Extra-Large LCD Screen and Instant SAE-Metric Conversion and so it has a riser on one side to balance the adjusting knob on the other side. I've included my Google SketchUp 2013 files for remixing in case you use a different caliper (or for any other reason). I have included two versions, a simpler square-cornered one, and one with some curves for a nicer look. I included both because you might prefer one or the other, and because it's much easier to remix from the square version. Instructions Prints fine without supports -- the screw-holes are small and curved enough. A brim or raft is probably a good idea to avoid warping and because the bottom adhesion area is fairly small relative to how tall it is.
