T-Shirt Ruler; Adult Size

thingiverse

How many half-hour-long videos made by middle-aged housewives do you want to watch for one of these t-shirt graphic positioning rulers? Is the answer 0? Cause that was still too many for me. I looked around for a while trying to find a decent .svg file for this ruler too so that I could generate a toolpath, but EVERTHING was tied to a f*cking advertisement - or worse - some inane video. I could have purchased the .svg files, but that would have cost me a couple bucks and I still would have had to do some work to get this printing. I could have bought the .svg files then cut the ruler out on a Cricut or Silhouette machine, but I like my printer better. When you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail, you know? I just want to put stupid things onto a shirt. Why is this so complicated!? I eventually gave up and busted out my own regular ruler and a t-shirt and modeled this thing up. Tested it by making a t-shirt too. Works better than going by eye. I won't cram a video down your throat or talk for 30 minutes or more about how to use a flat piece of plastic with lines on it. You do get to print my logo when you make one of these, but it's 0.5mm thick and you don't have to color it in relief if you don't want to. At least I'm not charging you for the privilege. One of these files is a 10" wide (254mm wide for our metric friends) ruler. This seemed like a good enough width to me as most of the graphics I wanted to print were less than 10" wide. I also included an "Ender-friendly" 9" wide ruler (about 229mm wide) There are divisions every half-inch (12.7mm). The division lines are beefy so this is not what I would call a precision measuring device. But now at least I can make a relatively consistent tee.
