Tolerance Gauges

A Tolerance Gauge Set to cover the vast majority of regularly needed round and hex shaped holes. These type of features generally get printed fractionally undersize (due to a number of reasons), so these gauges will allow you to quickly ascertain the correct real-world size to model into your designs and be sure the resulting fit will be a good one!

Designed with below considerations & will fit all Bambu Printers including the A1mini :)

Quick reference for most common hardware sizes: I know I am not the only one who regularly uses fixings of sizes between M2-M10 for my 3D prints, and so wanted simple reference boards for bolts and nuts that was always on hand. The HOLE gauge boards will actually cover bolts from M2 to M16, and the HEX boards are good for standard hex heads/nuts M1.6 to M10

Flush Text & Digits: Everything is printed face down on the build plate, and so text is embedded in the first few layers, which makes for a flawless look that is hardwearing. (I have also upload an embossed text option for those who don't have an AMS and wish to do a manual colour change between layer heights.)

Hole/Hex Measurement: Simply try your bolt or nut for fitment in the holes until you get the desired fit. Then just read across for the whole number and downwards for its decimal place. Use this size in your CAD model to replicate the fit on your printed part.

Display / Storage: These gauge boards could just as easily live in a drawer or on the desk, but I felt an optional stand would be the optimal way to display and keep them grab-able at all times, while looking smart too of course! The stand is printed top-side down to give a clean & smooth top surface without stair stepping, while the opposite is true for the bottom which serves to give it some extra grip :)
