Fillet/Radius Gauge

thingiverse

After a while of going to print, test, adjust and print again I got sick of that method and finally decided to print a fillet gauge to be able to get the fillet radius. In the past I used to print small pieces with a suspected radius, check it then adjust the full model with the correct radius. It finally occurred to me I should print one of these, so here it is. My first design thought was to have them all attached on a rod through the middle but then I figured how it would become annoying to check tight areas hence why I designed them in separate parts, then I ended up making a neat little case with a lid to put them in. So for accuracy and detail I've decided to print the fillet gauges using my SLA (resin) printer (Anycubic Photon Mono), mainly because I was able to put the sizes on the pieces (without having to write on or design them in a way an FDM printer will be able to print the text into them), however for simplicity and colour variety I printed the case on my (FDM, PLA) Flashforge Guider II. **NOTE:** I've had to add the 2 "stoppers" to either side to stop the lid from falling off, however they need to be glued on so to make sure the lid doesn't get stuck to the base, I stuck the pieces on then got a clamp to hold them both on then started moving the lid up and down for a minute or so (giving the glue time to dry and preventing the glue from sticking the lid down)
