Caliper Holder- Magnetic-Quick Easy Print

thingiverse

As always I will promote and reward the first few people to post quality prints (must enable tips on your profile for reward). A quality print is a successful, complete, hopefully decent-looking model at 100% scale. Pictures don't need to show it with calipers or mounted but bonus points if it is. I love my Calipers, but it's easy to lose or break tools if I don't mount them in my shop. This mount builds on ideas from ones I've seen on Thingiverse while improving on issues I had with them. I understand there are many options for caliper mounts; thanks for checking out my variation. Design includes: * Fits most 150mm Calipers (and many larger sizes) * Simple and quick printing - no need for supports, rafts, brims, or anything complicated * Magnetic catch - not strictly necessary, but with a magnet it pulls the calipers into place in a consistent and sturdy way while keeping the magnet at a safe distance from the tool * Economical lift-out design; most other mounts have an awkward notch that captures the thumb screw at the back of most calipers, or other obstructions above the caliper making removals less natural You'll need one 9mm x 3mm neodymium "rare" earth magnet, commonly available at big box stores, craft stores, hardware stores, and Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Magnets-Refrigerator-Whiteboard-Durable-Multi-Use/dp/B07BSGNYV7
