Rad Radius Gauge - the RadGauge - With Companion App

prusaprinters

<p>A rad radius gauge for measuring radii of around 40 mm and bigger. Use the free web app calculator to calculate the result, it's super easy!</p><p>UPDATE 2: Added versions without the shelf in the hole. Now it should be able to take calipers that has a vertical bracket across the depth probe rather than a screw. This is not really optimal, as the lack of the shelf will allow for some wobble, but you'll just have to hold it in place while measuring.</p><p>UPDATE 1: Added a 30 mm version for measuring smaller radii.</p><h4>The companion app and instructions for use:</h4><h4><a href="https://subsite.github.io/rad/">https://subsite.github.io/rad/</a></h4><p>Now this is made to fit my digital calipers, which is pretty standard. The main shaft is around 16 mm x 4 mm, and it has a screw to keep the depth probe in place. To test if it fits, you can first print the small test piece, and then the complete model if it fits. A bit loose is ok, it's easy to keep in place while measuring.</p><p>If it's too tight vertically (z-axis), you could try to scale the z-axis in your slicer. Don't scale the whole thing, or the measuring distance will be off.</p><p>It's probably pretty easy for me to make another version for a different set of calipers, please let me know, and I'll see what I can do!</p><p><i><strong>Originally published in 2018: </strong></i><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2811444"><i><strong>https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2811444</strong></i></a><i><strong>&nbsp;</strong></i></p><p>&nbsp;</p><h3><i>Please post a Make if you make this!</i></h3><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Notes:</strong></p><p>You might want to slow down you print speed for better accuracy.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Category: Tools</p>
