Caliper XL

UPDATE: Improved markings for higher precision, reduced print time to 1h 39m, added optional detent spring for more stability Sometimes 15 cm just aren’t enough 😄 That’s why I designed this extra long caliper, an extended 3D printed measuring tool for large objects. This extended caliper fits on almost any standard 3D printer bed (250 × 65 mm) and allows precise measurements up to 450 mm, far beyond what standard calipers can handle. The 3D printed caliper consists of two sliding parts that simply fit into each other, making it easy to print, assemble, and use. Optionally, you can add a detent spring for more stability. Perfect for 3D printing, woodworking, DIY projects, and large-format measurements. Usage note: For lengths greater than 22 cm, use the upper-left marking; for lengths below 22 cm, use the lower-right marking. The mentioned markings refer to the inner measuring edges. When measuring with the outer edges, add 30 mm to the result. Assembly note: Simply slide the two parts
