I think my caliper is the best and most useful tool I have. I use it very often and when I do, I'll take it and put it back often when I measure things. I've been thinking about making a stand for a long time, so today it finally happened! And to be honest, I’m very satisfied with the result.

The Quick Access Caliper Stand - QACS, is my 100% own design. When I did the design, it was a must to get the correct grip directly without change position of my hand after I grab the caliper. With this stand I get the correct grip directly.

I'm not sure, but I think the stand works with the most calipers on the market. I have tried with three different with great results, see pictures.

Length: 210mm
Depth: 52mm
Height: 57mm

Box edge is 8mm high.

I hope you like my stand as much as I do. :)

Thank you very much Sir. I printed the QACS in Prusament Galaxy Black and Sunlu PLA+ Green. I'am really happy with it. Absolutely useful and everyday in use. I have to say thank you very much.

This is perfect... I'm tired of cracking open the factory container and I use these calipers everyday. Thank you for this game changer desk tool, I have a desk theme color going so I added my own splash.

I printed two of these for birthday presents using TPU for AMS. Change the colors by layer except for the added font which was painted in the slicer. I also used Hilbert Curve as the surface pattern, gave a great finish. Both turned out perfect!!

@Henrik_Sweden

Thank you for sharing your print, the 5-star rating and the boost. Many thanks! I shall admit that I'm very much black or white to my prints color, I feel that I need to use more color now. Your version was so nice with blue and white. And the idea with the text is really smart and ingeniously done. Well, done! And once again, thanks for sharing and support me, I hope the birthday presents will be appreciated.

I liked the look of this stand, and thought I would make use of all the scraps, very useful. Thanks

@Henrik_Sweden

Thank you for sharing your print, the 5 stars rating and the two boosts! Smart idea for the "scrap" filament use.

Great design! I was planning on designing one myself after not finding anything for my usecase. The primary issue with all the other stands/mounts/cases is that they dont consider accessing the tool quickly with minimal friction. If you are constantly grabbing your calipers at your desk, this is the one to print. Really appreciate the design, great work!

@Henrik_Sweden

Thank you very much for your kind words, the boost and your appreciation of the design I made.
