Flexible 20 cm Ruler – PLA Bendable Measuring Tool
Print Profile(1)
Description
This flexible 20 cm ruler is a simple but highly practical tool for your desk, pencil case, or workshop.
Made from PLA or other common filaments, it prints in one piece and offers a great combination of functionality and flexibility.
The ruler features:
✅ Clearly marked 1 mm scale from 0 to 20 cm
✅ Long slots for visual line alignment or quick marking
✅ Rounded end with a hanging hole
✅ Fully bendable (even with PLA)
✅ Clean and sleek design with sharp text
🛠 Print Settings:
- Layer height: 0.2 mm
- Infill: 100 % (for best durability)
- No supports needed
- Material: PLA (standard works fine, but PETG or flexible filaments also possible)
- Color change or painting recommended for text visibility (optional)
- Works with a 0.4 mm nozzle (see the pictures), but i think details like numbers and ticks are sharper with 0.2 mm nozzle
Fits on a Bambu Lab A1 mini print bed, but you’ll need to rotate the ruler diagonally in your slicer.
Ideal for quick measurements, line marking, or just to flex your print tolerances 😉.
