Description

Update 07/03/2024: I was asked to provide an Imperial version of this popular Square. That model can be found at Ultimate Square (Imperial)…..but if you have come for the Metric versions you are in the right place! Keep reading…. :)

I wanted to design the ultimate fully 3D printable square that;

could be printed in the strongest orientation without any supports,
is double sided, having a full set of clearly legible markings,
is as accurate as possible.

By printing the faces of the square in two halves and by laying them flat on the bed (as opposed to standing tall like designs available elsewhere) the layer lines are in the optimum orientation. A simple set of shouldered locking fixings (also fully printable) allows you to then align & tighten the two pieces perfectly, using a small flat head screwdriver.

The overall accuracy has proven excellent, so I feel that this solution has ticked all the design criteria.

Includes all the usual features for checking/marking distances, angles & the larger sizes also have some notches for pencil marking at 10mm increments.

Perfect for the home, studio, workshop…… Just choose your preferred size(s) listed below, print & assemble!

Small: 75mm ‘Pocket Square’
Medium: 100mm Square
Large: 150mm Square

I love designing for 3D printing, please take a look at all my other models which are all free (and will always continue to be)… 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

Printed in PLA with a Color switch inbetween to make the lettering more legible. came out great, thank you! :)

@DatumCAD Is there a particular reason, why the profile for the large square only includes 3 connectors on the buildplate even though there are 5 holes? Wasn't a problem to print the two additional halves, was just wondering if i missed anything.

@DatumCAD

Replying to @dgoertz :

oh?!… I will check and amend that print profile as there certainly should be the same amount of screws as the square requires! Thanks for pointing this out… and I appreciate the kind feedback and boost too 😊 🙏

This printed very good on my X1C in PLA (medium size print in black and orange). I made a timelapse here: https://youtu.be/HHp9BnAI7cA

Thanks for sharing and glad it printed well. Tried to view the timelapse but the link doesn't seem to be working.

@mrunion

Replying to @DatumCAD :

Sorry for the timelapse issue. I will correct the link and update the post when it’s available.

Nice design. Very easy to print. Here is 75mm model. It screws together well, and fit tightly.
