Description
This is an improvment to my previous model found here : https://makerworld.com/en/models/1310855-edc-calipers-metric#profileId-1345110
After reading the main issues faced by the previous model I decided to make the calipers more robust to differnent material tolerances. This new design has a spring mechanisim that holds the caliper firmly in place this spring mechnaisim was validated using a cantilever beam analysis similar to the one done here :https://makerworld.com/en/models/733605-buckle-with-engineering-calculations#profileId-682925
Along woth the updated mechanisim I also added slots for 6 mm x 2 mm magnets so that this caliper can be magnetically attached to my slim moft magsafe tripod. If the moft one is too expensive this one I found on amazon shouljd also work : https://www.amazon.com/EWEMDAI-Magnetic-Stain-Resistant-Adjustment-Multifuctional/dp/B0CSBR2Z51/ref=sr_1_22_sspa?crid=26BW3ZPXSRTR7&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.UJ7dN2QcYSII7YV-8bKQfwBy-2aTlfUH4xqlaJJkFy_xAdofGfkDWqNU4-O_WN9HOrLVTiSArAvchO7QvPerrHrQq5Sna3BUJdC7ESsRlYrZyh9IyLFPzYVuIHu82UUVE8RW4mBUCR-AyPg9BkjVUm8M2U-zKfc8BUYEtkOBWZbN2_LUSmjczCxdwFviTDc2izcRu2fbBHxePXjPoSKDAUf-MdnVyEGRDy6Zws0QljE.wPzBSsgggu60ss47S64K_MJ9lNSlfpYw7T3MyXwhvkU&dib_tag=se&keywords=magsafe%2Bslim%2Btripod&qid=1755041794&sprefix=magsafe%2Bslim%2Btripo%2Caps%2C207&sr=8-22-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9idGY&th=1
This Caliper is intended to be used alongside my new Craft Knife (Slim) EDC and Dual Screwdriver (Magnetic) linked below :
