Clay Compass

Updated 2.13.24
I redesigned the handle, plate and created a plastic ruler with holes every 1/4'' to make circles from 3''-14''. The new handle and ruler still work with the old plate if you just want to print that section, however the new plate is slightly smaller to allow for a 3'' circle to be made. I don't have experience in 3d modeling so I'm just learning on the fly. Enjoy!


I designed this clay compass to be used with a wooden ruler. You'll need to drill a center hole in your ruler with a 5/16'' drill bit. It is a little tight fit so you might have to ream it out slightly. Your holes for the needle tool can be drilled to fit. I used a 5/64'' for that.
