Metre and Yard Measuring Wheels

thingiverse

This is a fast Yard and Metre measurement tool for wire and small tubing. As long as the wire or tube does not get overlapped, this should allow you to measure 20-25 metres very quickly and accurately. The main surface is 80mm wide. For printing purposes, the approximate sizes are 175mmSq (Metre) and 160mmSq (Yard). I printed only the Metre wheel so far with 20% infill. This seems solid enough for my needs. Fixings were M4x25mm flange bolts (12) with nuts and washers. The Metre "1" and Yard Wheels "1" have a 0.75mm notch each side for cutting purposes. The number "2"s do not have this. There are several small notches in case you want to hold an end in place with a wire or tie. So if you need a wheel without any notches, just print four number "2"s. If you want a 0.75mm notch, print two of each and connect like the main picture. If you want a 1.5mm notch, then print four number "1"s.
