**This version is outdated. I've created a new one with numerous improvements. Please disregard this V1 and enjoy the updated one instead!** **Go here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2662907** Hello friends, I'm unable to determine the ideal size of the small screws I use for my Geetech I3 Pro B, so I decided to create a gadget that would solve this problem. There are two parts to this tool: one with measurements and the other with holes where you insert the screws. You slide the second part until the screw stops the slider, and then you can read the size directly below. The slider has three holes: 2.5mm, 3mm, and 4mm. This allows you to measure screws from 6mm to 30mm in increments of 2mm. I've also included a measurement for 25mm. It's extremely easy to use. I only painted the numbers with a marker, but you can print them cleanly by adding the M600 code before printing the digits. Since I'm not sure how to post animated GIFs on this platform, here is a link to see it in action: https://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2017/44/5/1509730896-video.gif I hope you'll find this useful and enjoy using it. Please feel free to leave a Like or comment – it's always appreciated and doesn't cost anything. Update 04/11/2017: As suggested by J-Max, I've added an updated version with U-shaped holes instead of traditional ones. It seems to be faster. The file is "Screwmeter-porte vis-2.stl."
