This Universal Caliper Safety Case is designed to work with most 6in calipers.
The simple design allows for easy modification and editing.
Fits most print bed sizes, if not let me know and ill be sure to update it.
DISCLAIMER
the tolerances on the latch are very precise and can vary from printer to printer, make sure your printer is well calibrated before printing!
If you're anything like me, you always have some caliper nearby. Again if you're anything like me, you might be a little clumsy and drop your calipers measuring a tricky part or setting them down on a crowded desk only for them to get knocked off or things stacked on top of it.
I created this case to prevent damage to those O so fragile calipers and their very particular measurements.
If this model gets some love I will be uploading a tpu insert for the Case so there can be even more protection for your precious calipers.
Assembly Instructions
--------------------------
Attach the latch to the top housing with some force. There are some cone shaped attachment points on both the latch and the top housing.
Next push the left, followed by the right side back hinges together (or vice versa) same cone shaped hinges as for the latch.
Print Settings
----------------
Print each part flat face down so you have the most surface area touching the build plate as possible
The latch is designed to be printed vertically using a brim at the bottom for extra stability.
I have integrated some 60 degree slopes for ease of printing.
If you have any questions about the model make sure to let me know I always respond!
V.1.5
Changed latching mechanism for better durability and ease of printing.
