<p>A 3D print version of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFyggXQJr2Y">Jer Schmidt's</a> Mitutoyo ruler sheath. All testing and design considerations should be attributed to him, as the only thing I did was take his design and convert it to CAD for rapid prototyping.</p><p>Two versions:</p><ul><li>W/ clip = an integrated, 3D printed pocket clip, is printed with the sheath</li><li>W/O clip = no pocket clip is printed, and a metal clip is required from a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Retractable-Badge-Reels-Clips-Holder/dp/B0952SZNTD/ref=sr_1_26?keywords=retractable+badge+clip&amp;qid=1645628670&amp;sprefix=retractable+badge%2Caps%2C86&amp;sr=8-26&amp;tag=thingiverse09-20">retractable badge clip</a></li></ul><p>I have found that, over time, the integrated pocket clip would loosen when printed with PLA (haven't tried other materials), so I decided to use a more stable spring-steel alternative (in the w/o clip version). I am providing both versions for you to choose which one you prefer.</p><h3><strong>PRINTING:</strong></h3><p>Print on side, and you should only need supports if you're printing the version with the integrated clip.</p>
