Imperial Rulers

thingiverse

Introducing a set of imperial-unit rulers designed for precise modeling in Blender, especially for 3D printing on MakerBot Replicator. Created by Kris, these rulers aid in achieving exact model sizes and reducing sizing errors. Printed with ABS plastic using a MakerBot Replicator 1, the rulers come in four sizes: 3, 6, 7.5, and 12 inches. The 7.5-inch ruler helps understand build platform limits before moving to ReplicatorG. To remove printed objects without damage, Kris recommends leaving them on the cooled platform until it reaches over 100C, then gently popping off with finger pressure. In Blender, simply import the 'ruler.stl' file for usage. These rulers have proved invaluable to Kris and are shared with the hope they help others learning Blender.
