This is a holder for the inch radius gauge sets from 1/64 inch through 1/2 inch and the round gauge holding tool.
Depending on the thickness of your gauge set and variations in printers you may need to adjust the size of the slot to get a good fit so that it holds the gauges without them falling out if you turn it upside down while still being easy to insert and remove without to much pressure.
I have two versions, one with slots that are .028" thick for radius gauges from 1/64" through 1/4" and .038" slots for the gauges from 9/32" through 1/2", and a second version with the slots reduced to .025" and .035" for a tighter fit. These dimensions are the numbers referenced in the STL file titles.
I printed on the long narrow edge to maintain a consistent slot gap with a Prusa i3 using PLA.
I never liked fumbling with the plastic pouches these come in that always fall apart with use.
