Universal Caliper Mount - Remix

thingiverse

This is a custom version of the universal caliper holder by swiss_beluga. Modifications were made to suit heavy use in a woodworking facility where these would be frequently used and subjected to wear and tear. * Use 3MF files as the STL file is only attached due to Thingiverse's publishing requirements. <h1>Key Changes Include: </h1> * Mounting uses #10 countersunk screws (machine screws) * Magnets employ two 12x3mm neodymium disc magnets * Modified hooks are angled to prevent breakage. With the magnets, this setup still holds well but prevents the hooks from being broken off if a user pulls directly back without first lifting the caliper from the hooks. This also prevents the magnets from opening the caliper as it is removed since users naturally pull up at an angle to remove the caliper instead of first sliding it upward. <h1>Part Files (2 Options):</h1> <ol> <li>Cal_Mnt_V2e - Caliper holder only</li> <li>Cal_Mnt_V2eS - Caliper Holder with a screwdriver pocket (for use with calipers that have a battery cover secured by a screw). The screwdriver pocket fits the standard screwdriver included with calipers used, which has an 8mm OD handle.</li> </ol> <blockquote> UM3_CalMtV2eS_X6 - Cura print file for use with an Ultimaker 3 printer. This is configured to print six of the caliper holders at a time. It contains all my print settings, for reference. </blockquote>
