CTC Digital Caliper Holder

thingiverse

I liked crooksUSA's remix, but wanted something that would fit on my printer well, so I created this re-mix. It mounts on the right side, to the top screw that clamps to the front part of the enclosure. UPDATE - I just created "V2", which should be able to be printed vertically, without support. I'm printing it now to check... Ok, so I printed the V2 model without support, and it does print well vertically, but has a bit of slop at the bottom of the overhangs since they're a bit of an extreme angle. So I'll put together another version with a less aggressive overhang. But even though this has that issue, it does print out, and is only cosmetic, IMHO. (And I'm using it now!) I'll post the pics I took sometime soon... Print Settings Printer: CTC Dual Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Yes Resolution: .25mm Infill: 50% Notes: Print with supports as there is a 2mm channel for the sides to overlap the edge of the printer as a clamp (since only one screw is holding it to the printer - no drilling is required). **NOTE - The "V2" version should not need support if printed at a low enough layer height to be able to print the overhangs well. I uploaded it here, and am test printing it now. Mounting the holder... Look at the printer from the Right side. Remove the top-left screw (the one that clamps the front face to the right side, just below the 45 degree angle) and place the screw through the hole in the bracket and re-attach it to the printer. Note - You may or may not need a longer screw - I was able to get it to grip the threads and re-use the existing screw and washer.
