Caliper add-on for Westcott Stainless Steel Ruler

thingiverse

A revamped caliper system is suited for Westcott Stainless Steel Rulers featuring a non-slip cork base, which are commonly seen everywhere (like here). The top part of the ruler may be unstable due to the cork starting at the zero mark; however, this issue can be resolved by using glue to attach the caliper to the ruler. Although inserting the ruler into the bottom portion of the caliper might be challenging because of the cork's friction, it adds stability to the device. To achieve a flat edge and proper sizing, print the top part upright rather than against the bed. A minor curling issue can be fixed with sandpaper, followed by a smooth finish using acetone. The bottom portion is printed flat for optimal results on a Replicator 2 printer.
