Though of course all this assumes your printer is calibrated well enough and accounts for plastic shrinkage as it cools etc – I find on one roll I’ve been using I need to add an extra 2-3% x+y scale as this one shrinks like buggery – so is also rather hard to keep from warping. At least if you ignore the made in plastic extra flex under loads, and even if you don’t more than sufficient for most everywhere you would need calipers. Quite simple and logical to read, and the precision should be about as good as guestimators (we aren’t talking screw gauge micrometers here) can ever do, working on the same principles to reduce error in constructions effect on measurement. or you didn’t know you would need one but do have the ubiquitous 3d printer – perhaps on the ISS for instance – though that would be improved if the shafts/screws were 3d printed snap fit or something. Very interesting take on dial calipers, I can see this being useful in a future situation where the vernier has got lost. Posted in 3d Printer hacks Tagged 3d printing, caliper Post navigation
CLOCKWORK 3D CLOCK HOW TO
If you want a crash course on how to use calipers to reverse engineer mechanical parts, we can help. We have to admit that these calipers would be easier on batteries than the pair we use every day, but then again there are other ways to solve that problem. But great fun and would make a nice show project for your 3D printing skills. Probably not very practical, especially when a reasonable set of calipers doesn’t cost very much anymore. As you’d expect, the main part is a rack with pinions driving gears that move the numbers and pointers. Towards the middle of the video, you can see the parts involved. Like a real set of calipers, there is a depth gauge, although watching it spin through the measurement is a lot more entertaining than the usual measurement.
CLOCKWORK 3D CLOCK MOVIE
This would be just the thing to be in a movie about an alien or post-apocalyptic machine shop. While we can’t validate its accuracy and we imagine it would depend somewhat on your printer’s abilities, we can say it looks pretty amazing in operation.

A window shows 10s of millimeters and two dials show the single digits and the number after the decimal point. The digital readout on this caliper is more like a sophisticated watch. We don’t know how well it works, but we’ll stick with our digital calipers for now. The STL is available for a few bucks, but you can see how it works in the video below. He has a clockwork caliper design that he 3D printed. Most of us use calipers when working with our 3D printers.
