Vernier Caliper - simple, easy, 2 parts.

<p>This is remix of the apparently unloved (unmade?) simple 2-part vernier caliper by harkiirat. <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4509947">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4509947</a></p> <p>I printed that but it was unusable because of 0.7mm clearance between the two parts. I modified 'slider' part in F360 to make a light sliding fit. This results in a simple, handy caliper that works and feels smooth. It's probably accurate to 0.15mm-ish up to 20-40mm - OK for roughly sizing parts at a desk during design but, look, it's a printed plastic vernier - don't go designing critical parts with it.</p> <p>The graticule prints out deep and clear - easy to fill with paint.</p> <p>'Rule' part stays unchanged and is just included here for convenience, now as .STL.</p> <p>'Slider' needs support to bed, 'rule' doesn't. Print them both 'flat', that's fine. PLA is probably OK but I had PETG loaded so...</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Prusa</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>I3 MK3S</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>Yes</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.1 or 0.2</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>50% give or take</p></div> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> flmnt.tw PETG black</p> </p></p></p> Category: Hand Tools
