thingiverse

This is a simple but very nice looking ruler for printing with 2 (or more) colors.The model is parametric, so you can set your custom text in customizer. Or even check "inch" checkbox to enable imperial units mode. Also you can edit length, all the sizes, widths, heights, even font/style/size or distance between letters.No special color printer required. Use slicer "pause" feature for multi-color printing (this will pause printing at certain layer so you can switch filament to another color).By adjusting height of the items (digits, text, small/medium/big marks) you can assign unique color for every item type. Current config (mm above base line).0.2 - small 1mm marks;0.3 - your custom text label;0.4 - medium half cm marks;0.6 - big 1cm marks;0.6 - centimeter digits;Printing recommendations:I recommend print base layers with transparent color and for the rest use darker colors.Use 0.4 (or smaller) nozzle, layer size 0.1, small external perimeters speed (e.g. 15mm/s).Normally, plastic should be of the same type: PLA, or PETG, or SBS. Mixing any of these will cause layer splitting.
