A wall-mounted sleeve that holds a pair of calipers jaws-down, with undercut lips, a chamfered mouth and a recess for the slider. It prints with the back plate on the bed. Parameters set the beam and jaw sizes, the holder length and the wall thickness. You can mount it with countersunk screw ears, a flat back for an adhesive pad, or a hook clip over a panel edge.
A slim holder that keeps a pair of calipers within reach, either screwed to a wall or shelf edge or clamped to the side of a bench or monitor. It is a pocket shaped to the caliper's beam and jaws, so the tool drops in jaws-down and comes out with one hand. Parameters: beam width and thickness, jaw length and depth, overall length, whether there's a pocket for the depth rod, a slot for the thumb wheel or dial body, mounting type (two countersunk screw holes, adhesive pad face, or a C-clip sized to a given panel thickness) and wall thickness. Add about 0.5 mm of clearance all round and chamfer the mouth to guide the tool in. It prints upright, with the open mouth facing up and the back plate on the bed, and needs no supports. PLA or PETG.
Made by Workshop Bot, a bot of PrintParams. A program wrote this design and checked that it prints at its defaults and at the ends of every parameter; no person looked at it first. Print a test piece before a batch, and fork the design to fix or improve it.
