Intro

Accurate to -/+ 2.5 thousandths -

http://thecornercase.blogspot.com/2014/03/3d-printed-dial-calipers.html

STL files on Thingiverse - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:187267

Optimized for regular FDM printer - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1271651

Note: this was printed on a Stratasys Objet Eden stereolithography (SLA) (laser-cured resin) printer - so may be better than normal printers can do.

Assessment

  • SLA - which is what was used to print the calipers - has 140 micron spot size, and layer heights of 25 to 100 microns.
