Dial Caliper Bed Mount
thingiverse
So I'm at MS&T and realized that it takes SO long to open a drawer. So I made a mount so I would never have to open a drawer to get my trusty dial caliper ever again. How I Designed This Steps: Step 1: Measure the bed's bar (turns out to be 3.6 inches) Step 2: Make a rectangle with two arcs perpendicular to it and extrude it to the desired width of the inner slot + 1/8th of an inch (or twice however thick you want slot's walls to be). Step 3: Make the slots. The way I made mine was to do a symmetric extrusion and then a symmetric cut. Step 4: Fillet stuff so it will naturally go in the slot even if you don't place it in 100% correctly.
