"My Ruler" with different cm-scales

thingiverse

I used the mentioned "Customizable ruler"-thing as source, but wanted to rotate the cm-scale, since i'm not used to these type of rulers. I have no knowledge how to use OpenSCAD and was not able to change the "for i=..."-loop to do this, i changed this into a static approach and so every number is now written individually. I included a 18cm and a 28cm ruler, because the latter is the maximum i can print on my neptune 3 pro diagonally. If you want to change the length, you'll have to change: `RulerLength=28;// [1:50]` After that of course you need to change the block with the number-writings. If you change it to 20cm, the first translate-command would have to be: `translate([(1*190)+4.5,10.5,1]) rotate([0,0,180]) write(str("1"),h=NumberSize,t=2);` For every further number you have to subtract 10 as for number 2: `translate([(1*180)+4.5,10.5,1]) rotate([0,0,180]) write(str("2"),h=NumberSize,t=2);` And so on. Be aware that due the change of "width" of the two-digits-numbers starting by ten you need to manually change the offset for the numbers 1-9. I use 4.5 as quoted in the code. After that you use +NumberOffset which defaults to 6. Change the text of the ruler in: `RulerText="my-ruler";` Also i changed the height of the mm-scale, because with 0.7 it was hard to see. The code is now: for (i=[0:10:RulerLength*10]){ translate([i+3,-4.9,0.5]) rotate([8.5,0,0]) cube([.5,10,0.9]); } for (i=[0:1:RulerLength*10]){ //embosed ruler lines translate([i+3,-4.9,0.5]) rotate([8.5,0,0]) cube([.4,8,0.9]); } As well the x=0.4 in the mm-scale is a littler wider than 0.25 in the source, but since my nozzle is 0.4 i would not get a printable mm-scale. For the sake of aesthetics i also included a mm-scale with 0.5 and 0.2 spacings. You need write.scad for the whole thing (put it in the same directory as the scad-file)
