Vernier Caliper (Easy Assembly, High Precision)

This is a portable caliper, designed for ease of transport and straightforward printing.

Features:

• Measures 0-100mm, compact and portable, with high precision.
• Simple to print, with a high success rate, requiring only 15g of filament.
• Modeled specifically for 3D printers, utilizing a 0.5mm line width and spacing for crisp markings, perfectly compatible with 0.4mm nozzles.
• Requires minimal supports, boasting a professional caliper aesthetic.
• Offers multicolor and monochrome print profiles, with slightly different source files (optimized for FDM printer properties, ensuring clear markings even in monochrome), allowing for user selection.

Instructions:

• For optimal printing results, the configuration includes a brim; remove the brim and supports after printing.
• Insert the protrusion on the small rod into the groove, from the rear of the caliper body.
• Finally, attach the printed clasp to the rear to complete assembly.

*This model, from design to testing, is optimized for FDM 3D printers (spacing and line width); testing confirms excellent quality with a 0.4mm nozzle (the standard for most printers), with clearances meticulously calibrated for optimal assembly tolerances; finally, the rear clasp accounts for varying shrinkage rates in different filaments; if the fit is loose, use adhesive to secure it; minor deformation in multicolor prints (markings or text) is normal and does not affect accuracy.

*December 8, 2024 update: Addressing user feedback regarding slider markings, the model has been revised with increased text width for enhanced clarity.
