Cosplay Calipers (hardware remix)

<h3>Remixed version of Cosplay Calipers.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</h3><h4>What’s it for?</h4><p>When making cosplay/costume items, proper fitment is important! These calipers will help. They’re used to measure body parts, so you can accurately fine-tune wearable pieces you’re making.&nbsp;</p><p>Whether you’re 3D printing or hand-making a costume, these calipers will help you make sure it fits properly.&nbsp;</p><h4>How is it used?</h4><p>Just close the ends around what you’re measuring, then grip them firmly to maintain the distance while you &nbsp;measure with a measuring tape, or mark the distance onto paper and measure the marks.&nbsp;</p><h4>What was modified/remixed?</h4><p>&nbsp;The original design has smooth countersinks on both the nut and bolt, so you had to hold both sides while tightening. To make it easier to assemble and retighten, I added a hex head to the nut and matching countersunk cutout on one arm. I also downsized the nut and screw x and y by 1.5% and 3% &nbsp;respectively as suggested in original comments by Wpnx330 on another 3D model site.</p><h4>How should I print and assemble it?</h4><p>On the screw and nut, consider printing at a lower layer height for ease of threading, and more perimeters for strength.</p><p>The arms have been cut into two pieces for easier printing, especially on smaller print beds. Assemble the two pieces of each arm using appropriate glue and/or heat welding. Then connect them with the nut and bolt. The bolt has a coin-sized slot for easy tightening.&nbsp;</p>
