Center finder

thingiverse

I designed a straightforward tool to assist in finding the center of a cylinder. Included here are one SolidWorks file with various configurations for small (25mm), medium (50mm), large (75mm) and XL (100mm) versions, with dimensions referring to overall width or length. Additionally, STL files are included. Please note that the diagonal was created with a slight (0.75mm) offset for marker width, as seen in pictures. After some trial-and-error, I determined this offset distance worked well using an extra fine point Sharpie, although 0.5mm could be effective if tilted towards the diagonal. It really just depends on the pen or pencil being used. This tool is similar to the project below, but I created my own solid model file with various sizes and added a chamfer to the bottom to help draw the line as well as the mentioned offset: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1605373
