Stepped Wedge 1–13 mm (Adjustment Wedge / Leveling Wedge)

1–13 mm Stepped Wedge (Adjustment Wedge / Leveling Wedge) with Engraved Measurements

Short Description Practical and precise stepped wedge (also ideal as an adjustment block, leveling wedge, or shim) with 13 exact steps from 1 mm to 13 mm in height. Each step is centered with the corresponding millimeter number (Arial Bold, 4 mm font height). The engraving depth is 0.4 mm – with a clever exception for the 1 mm step: Here, the engraving is only 0.2 mm deep so that the bottom remains stable and isn't printed right through.

Perfect for the workshop and DIY projects:

• As a measuring aid and setup tool
• For parallel alignment and shimming of workpieces (e.g., when flattening with a router sled)
• For calibrating distances and gap sizes
• As a height gauge for saw blades or routers

📐 Dimensions & Proportions

• Length: 100 mm
• Width: 25 mm
• Height: 1–13 mm (in exact 1 mm increments)
• Step depth/width: 7.5 mm per step (the top step offers 10 mm of surface area)

⚙️ Recommended Print Settings The model is optimized for easy printing without supports (simply print lying flat on its bottom).

• Nozzle: 0.4 mm
• Layer height: 0.2 mm (Important: For the 1 mm step, you must choose 0.2 mm or finer, as an engraving depth of 0.2 mm leaves exactly one solid bottom layer!)
• Wall lines (Perimeters): 4
• Infill: 30 % (Cubic or another stable pattern is perfectly sufficient)
• Supports: Not needed!
• Material: PLA, PETG, ASA, or ABS – all work flawlessly.

💡 Tips for Engraving & Readability The font depth was specifically tailored to typical FDM tolerances (minimum line width ≥ 0.8 mm). With extremely fine nozzles (e.g., 0.2 mm), the text will turn out even sharper. Pro-Tip: If you choose a light-colored filament and later fill in the recessed engraving with a fine dark marker, you get an extremely strong contrast and perfectly readable numbers!
