Metric nut & screw measuring tool

prusaprinters

<p>I was inspired by a lot of great screw measuring tools available to print, such as <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/3408-quickly-measure-sort-m2-m3-m4-m5-metric-screws-up-">this one</a> by Sneaks. This tool measures M2, M2.5, M3, M4, and M5 metric screws up to 50mm long in standard lengths, as well as the corresponding nuts.</p><p>No special hardware or heat-setting required, simply add the hex nuts and screws to the base, then use a little super glue to attach the top to the base.</p><p>This was modeled from scratch and prints without supports.</p><p>I used A2 stainless steel hardware from Bolt Depot.<br><a href="https://www.boltdepot.com/Metric_machine_screws_Phillips_pan_head_Stainless_steel_18-8_(A-2).aspx">These screws, 8mm long</a><br><a href="https://www.boltdepot.com/Metric_hex_nuts_Stainless_steel_18-8_(A-2).aspx">And these hex nuts</a></p><p>I don't know if other hardware will fit properly or not - if the sizes and tolerances of the hex nuts or screw heads are a little different.</p>
