Depth Attachment for Caliper

thingiverse

This is an improved version of my caliper attachment for measuring depth. It includes a "bridge" component which spans the gap and a "foot" component for measuring the depth of soft materials. In this version, the bridge fully encloses the caliper, which adds a lot of strength. In addition, the foot includes a set screw which holds it in place. I printed the body in PET-G on a Lulzbot Mini with a 0.5 mm nozzle. Both parts were printed in their normal orientation without support. The bridge and foot use a tapping insert from McMaster-Carr: https://www.mcmaster.com/99362A200/
