Lockable Large format Calipers

Lockable Large format Calipers:

Time to Measure Up!
I needed to measure the width of a drain pipe and was having a problem with a straight ruler,

so I sorted these out. Please concider a Boost Me to keep me making models.

Large scale sized calipers to help you measure up all those large or odd shaped items. (shoulder width, arm length, instep length, forehead width, pipes, Dogs, Cats, kids, Helmuts, the diameter of a cylinder, lots of stuff, you will be surprised, once you have printed one.....you just start measuring stuff.....) it's simple, lightweight, fast printing, and all parts on one plate.

Release the arms by undoing the knob anti clockwise until the arms move freely. 

Either pull or push the caliper arms until they touch both sides of whatever you are measuring, 

then tighten the knob turning it clockwise to lock the caliper arms in place. 

Then you just need to measure the distance between the tips of the two locked arms. 

Then undo the knob by turning it anti-clockwise to release the arms to start your next measurement.
 

Enjoy
