Ultimate Adjustable Calipers

GIF - Assembly AnimationUpdate 10/04/2024: Added ‘Outside legs’ version which make it easier to get measurements between the tips. The aim was to design a pair of callipers that:had no need for hardware (i.e. was fully printable) while keeping amount of components to a minimum, and no supports!could be easily adjusted and hold its measurement,felt nice to use & look good!Other similar printed tools comprise of flat profiles which wobble & bend far too easily, they also have to be clamped together after the measurement is made, which is a bit of a faff and can result in excessive inaccuracy. This model solves these problems by allowing you to quickly reference those lager dims. Increased strength is achieved from a monocoque-style leg design that houses all of the working components. The straight legs are 150mm long from the pivot centre, and open up to a maximum of 200mm. Drop a comment if you would like to see a larger version…. I am really pleased at just how well this assembles & wo
