easy measurement tool

prusaprinters

This tool is used to improve the accuracy of measurements for our customizable keyguard device. In particular it is used to measure the size of the opening in the tablet case but it can also be used to measure the sizes and locations of screen elements without requiring that the tablet be taken out of its case. It's very hard to replicate these measurements with a ruler because most cases are smaller than the ruler which then has to be propped up on one side of the case and the extent of the opening has to be guessed at by eye.You can learn more about how to use the tool here: https://volksswitch.org/index.php/volks-devices/fully-customizable-3d-printable-aac-keyguard-for-tablets/easy-measurement-tool/and you can learn more about our customizable keyguard here: https://volksswitch.org/index.php/volks-devices/fully-customizable-3d-printable-aac-keyguard-for-tablets/The “top” has a cavity for a standard M5 hex nut. The M5 nuts should be inserted during the printing process just before the z-axis reaches approximately 7.20 mm high (layer 36 if using 0.2mm layers). At that point a sacrificial bridge is added on top of the nut which will later be pierced by an M5, 20 mm bolt.   This tool may be useful to help you insert the M5 nuts during printing: https://www.printables.com/model/771413-nut-insertion-toolThe knobs were remixed based on this design: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2369852. Top and base are slid together.  They can be epoxied or super-glued together with the rods in place if the top and base don't fit tightly enough to hold together by themselves.  Be sure not to get any adhesive on the rods.A couple of strips (one on top of the other) of electrical tape on the bottom of the base will help keep the base from slipping on the tablet glass as you try to take measurements.Optionally, a 10 cm piece of ruler tap (http://a.co/h8I31SN) can be attached to the side of the tool so that it can be used to directly take measurements of the app.Print SettingsPrinter Brand:PrusaPrinter: i3 MK3Rafts:NoSupports: NoResolution:0.2 mmInfill: 15%Notes:the knobs may benefit from a brim but otherwise, no supports or brims should be used.   Category: Tablet
