Mini Fixed Angle Gauge
Mini Fixed Angle Gauge
Print Profile(1)
Description
Sometimes, I find myself needing to measure angles in very tight spaces in which I am unable to use a conventional angle meter. Even though this approch lacks some precision due to the limited amount of preset angle, this helps me a lot to find the correct angle faster. Obviously this approach is limited in regards to how small of an angle you can cover. The current limit is 20° to 90° and 90 to 145° if you make use of the top left corner that is not marked (180° minus the marked angle). This will not work for the 20°, 25° and 30° gauge.
Printing Instructions
You have the option to enhance the readability of the numbers by performing a manual or automatic filament swap (already included in the print profile) during printing, maintain a single color for simplicity, or add color post-printing using a Sharpie marker.
Make sure you have great bed adhesion as the sharp corners are vulnerable to warping. Maybe you have to use a smooth pei sheet or spray adhesive. However, I have consistently achieved successful prints of this model on an open-frame P1P printer using the standard textured PEI sheet without encountering any problems.
