While not in use, this product is small and easy to store or transport.

Version SN-2 is fully 3D printable and has been tested for functionality. For best results, use PETG or other strong plastics.

Product Design from start to 'finish'

Step 1: Identify a need: "I want to measure large irregular objects, but my calipers are too small"
Step 2: Imagine a solution: "What if my yardstick could be calipers?"
Step 3: Design: "I can 3D print these parts to attach to the yardstick!"
Step 4: Prototype: "It really works!"
Step 5-and on: Reiterate: "What if I add... This would look better like..."
Best Step: Share!"
