3D model description

Add on for regular calipers to measure center - center distance between holes as well as center to edge. Intended for resin printers.

Minimum measurement about 10.2 mm cc, or 5.1 mm center-edge.

My normal setup consist of two conical tip and one flat.

You need

  • Resin printer setup
  • Calipers (jaws < 3.3mm wide, all 3 i have fits no problem)
  • 3x regular M3 nuts
  • 3x M3 screws, preferable 10-12 mm socket cap with knurling for easy finger tightening

Usage

If you want to measure against an edge, start by putting on the flat piece on one jaw and zero the caliper out, if you use non-digital you have to measure the offset and subtract it (should be just a hair or two over 5mm) from any measurement.

If using two conical tip the calipers should be zeroed as normal, the tips should be centered with your normal jaws.

Hold the tip against the inside of of the jaw so they are flat, then tighten the screw.

Go measure!
