Vernier Caliper Box KEEP OFF message sliding lid version I've made some changes to prevent overhang issues, especially for the sliding parts. (45 °) I've added a "KEEP OFF" text message and an embossed image of a Dial Vernier Caliper on the sliding lid. Vernier Caliper Box KEEP OFF Update 1 https://youtu.be/knXRgKaOp4o While assembling it, some issues came up that need tweaking... This design has been fixed now... I printed this with ABS, Nozzle at 235°C, Heat Bed at 110°C and had to file some areas to prevent curling. It's made of four parts because of its size, so you'll need to fasten them together. I used 100% pure Acetone for bonding the ABS 3D Print. I recommend using ABS filament and 100% pure Acetone for sticking and welding parts together The 3D Printer I used is for sale: https://youtu.be/R6NdPuTvZ-A All files are still being worked on. I tested printing an older hinged version, but the hinges were too weak (layer directions, etc), so this is a sliding lid version now. I have four parts that use a "KEEP OFF" message sliding lid, and they're untested as printed models at this time.

So I changed the design to a sliding lid version. See Perfect (3d Printed) Hinge http://www.instructables.com/id/Perfect-3d-Printed-Hinge/ I've only done test prints on the hinge versions (hinges not strong enough, etc), for now. Please see this YouTube Playlist, which will have earlier iterations, etc.. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUqt0sTiXUDeiN8JOL8xDoORcqJLJdxsE These two files make the Sliding Lid and need to be stuck together, e.g. ABS Juice, friction welding, etc...

Head Vernier Caliper Box.stl glued to Body Vernier Caliper Box.stl Split in half, files are easier to print on a smaller build area: Note that the Body parts are still about 178mm wide, so a bigger printer area is required. I've tried to make space for a dial gauge if you have this type of Vernier Caliper. There's room for a battery, bigger diameter size if needed, tilting by pressing on the right of the battery for easier access and some spaces for any parts...
