Description

Handy fillet radius gauge, designed with below considerations…

 

Ergonomic & Quick reference

A high precision profile with 0.5mm measurement increments. Compact circular deign with good grab-a-bility thanks to a large central hole. The fixed disc arrangement allows for speedy use with reduced faff - when compared to other gauge designs that use multiple swivel out type ‘wafers’ for individual fillet sizes.

Raised Text & Rebate

Improved legibility and durability of the top digits. Through previous trial and error I have found that embossed rather than debossed makes for a clearer end result. Font selection is critical here as results can vary wildly! (You can choose to print the text layers in another colour or to simply ink over the top faces with a contrasting colour paint… or even just a sharpie!)

Durability of the top digits is further increased by recessing of the top face. This protects them from normal wear and tear as they do not rise above the extremities of the main body. So, feel free to fetch in/out of that man-drawer as often as needed!!

 

Fillet Type & Measurement Info

Printing

The part is 5mm thick total. You can print first 4mm at higher speed, and then it is highly recommended to reduce to a slower setting for the last 1mm, as this will make sure the digits get printed well. It you are able to print in dual colour or are happy to do a filament swap, then do so for these last layers for a great twin-tone look with digits that really pop!

 

0.24mm layer height was used throughout the attached as the accuracy all comes from the perimeters and not the height resolution, but feel free to tune as per your preferences.

 

Other Gauge Models:

I love designing for 3D printing, so please take a look at all my other models which are all free (and will always continue to be)… so if you value any of the downloads enough & are able to support me, then please consider buying me a coffee to keep me going! www.buymeacoffee.com/DatumCAD

Works great and love the size. Large enough to hold and manipulate freely but small enough to stash away or hang on the wall.

Thanks and you have perfectly described what I was trying to achieve with these gauges. It’s nice when someone just ‘gets it’ 👍 😊
