I took inspiration from the dual threaded nut/bolt I found on here not long ago and decided to try my hand and designing something similar.
The rods are threaded in opposite directions and the nut is dual threaded. When you spin the nut, the rods extend or retract equally. I designed this with D&D tabletop in mind as a tool to help with longer distances. The thread is at a very aggressive pitch so you shouldn't have any issues printing that.
V3 - A few different tweaks, much longer, added some caps to let you rest on the table above typical 1" miniatures (I hope).
V2 - Initial proof of concept, really short.
