Caliper Attachment / Addon - Caliper Attachment / Add-on

What? : Caliper attachment for measuring behind flanges.

Caliper Attachment / Add-on - Digital Caliper Measurement Attachment 3D Printed

Why? : Commercial attachments are prohibitively expensive.

One size likely won't fit all, but it's worth a try as it's an inexpensive print!

Also have a look at my Uwu version

I developed this caliper attachment for my Toolcraft caliper, lacking a simple and affordable commercial alternative. It facilitates measurements behind flanges or in other hard-to-reach areas.

My aim was to measure my bicycle rim without tire removal. The rims' significant depth precluded internal measurement.

Possessing only one caliper, direct dimensional measurement was impossible; I relied on 3D software and photographic references. The tool's accuracy isn't perfect but suffices for home use :) The measuring surface can be lightly sanded.

It's a press-fit, but not overly tight.

GER:
I developed this caliper attachment for my Toolcraft caliper because I could not find a simple and affordable commercial solution. It is designed to enable measurements behind a flange or in other hard-to-reach places. I wanted to be able to measure my bicycle rim without removing the tire. Because I have very deep bicycle rims, I was unable to measure from the inside.

Since I only have one caliper, I could not measure the dimensions of the caliper and had to work with photos in my 3D software. The tool is not 100% precise but is sufficient for home use :)
