2019-06-27 Added an Imperial Version, Eliminated Duplicate Legends for Clarity, Have Fun! Rev 0: I'm Tired of Reaching for the Micrometer to Size the Same Nut Again and Again with Every New Project. This Gauge Features Four Hexagons, Each One Corresponding to a Different Nut Type (-0.05, Nominal, +0.5, and +0.10mm), Arranged in Columns. Each Row is Dedicated to Either a Locking or Hex Nut for M3, M4, and M5 Screws. On the Right Side, Holes are Provided with the M3, M4, and M5 Screws' Nominal Dimensions at 12 O'clock, Alongside Undersized and Oversized Holes Counter-Clockwise and Clockwise Respectively. The Bottom Side Boasts 0.5mm Chamfers to Remove Any Elephant Foot First Layer Distortion. In the Final Product Photo, Nuts Illustrate Which Dimension Results in a Very Tight Fit Requiring a Screw from the Backside to Draw the Nut into the Hexagon. A Fusion File is Included for Your Personalization Pleasure.
