Hinged Laser Target For Walls - Disto & Other Laser Measurers

thingiverse

I loved ccbdav's idea for a wall target for putting on the edges of walls. I do flooring estimation, and often have to do very long laser shots. When I need to stop at a certain wall to make a corner I usually would have to do deductions with the Disto tool, and shoot to another wall. I liked ccbdav's idea, but wanted mine hinged so I could rotate 90 degrees depening on which edge of the wall I would connecto to. The magnet holes are for 12mm diameter 3mm thick magnets I got from Home Depot. They fit very snug but I still epoxied them into the holes. I did not make this from scratch. I'm still learning Fusion 360. This started as Maker's Muze's file for demonstrating how to print live hinges. I then just pulled and rounded some corners to make it the size I wanted. Sadly the hinges did not print very well. It still holds it as it made little "divots" and works fine, but the hinge doesn't work as described. The "pin" of the hinge is too small. I plan on re-doing this as my skills in Fusion 360 get better. This target fits great in my back pocket so I can carry it with me as I do my estimation. Print this in either red or white for best reflectivity of the laser. Dark colors won't work very well. I used "Clay Red" $5 filament for the top and bottom layer, and white in the middle. 25% infill with 3 perimeters .20 layer height. 2 top and bottom solid layers. Solid red would have been fine, I just didn't have enough so I did the infill with white.
