Hollow Pivot Calipers

myminifactory

I built these calipers to measure internal features that were too deep for my vernier calipers to reach accurately. They've made measuring much easier and I'm consistently surprised by how often I end up using them! Since this is a relatively straightforward part, I decided to try out a different method of creating the pivot point. I used a split ring that snaps securely into place as the pivot, resulting in a distinctive and visually appealing design.
