IKEA paper ruler Tape measure kit/宜家纸卷尺改装

I often use a tape measure for body measurements to make clothes for myself and my friends.

Occasionally, I need to measure data and stop measuring to record the data, which makes me feel confused.

IKEA provides paper rulers for measuring furniture dimensions, which have actually always been a common tool for clothing practitioners: easy to obtain, easy to bend, and cheap (in fact, almost free). This is the background of the model’s birth

Design a spool that can roll up the paper ruler.

Thanks to the precision of the printer, a small clamping mouth can be designed for the ruler to tear it off neatly.

When the data is measured, you only need to simply tear off the ruler to record the required data.

Organizing the data at once after the measurement is completed can improve work efficiency.

The human body parts rarely exceed 2 meters, so a small piece of transparent tape can extend the length of the paper ruler to 2 meters, which is sufficient for most situations.

Assembly Instructions:

These are the printed parts:
 

For the central rotating shaft, I have provided two versions:

One is the version that needs to be assembled as shown in the picture above.

The other version requires support for printing:
 

It has a small protrusion at the top, which allows you to retract the pulled-out tape measure without needing the bottom handle.

Choose one according to your needs.

I chose the version that needs to be assembled.

Assemble the rotating shaft, and look at the grooves reserved for the buckle to avoid assembling it in the wrong direction.。

Position the end of the paper ruler into the groove.

Use one side of the buckle to clip the groove, rotate it slightly, and let both sides of the buckle clip the groove.

Insert the rotating shaft into the housing and press it into place.

Insert the handle, rotate it, and roll up the paper ruler.

Pull out the ruler slightly, insert the head into the notch gap, and pass it through the notch.

(Slightly sliding it up and down will make it easier to pass through)

roll up the ruler again with the handle.。

After measuring, hold the notch and tear off the ruler, then use a new one to measure the next dimension.

How to determine the correspondence between the data recorded by the ruler and the body part?

Use different colors to mark it, write text or attach a label to the top of the ruler, or use the method I used at the end of this article.

I also provides a tray model that can store 5 rulers.

In fact, I also made two versions of the storage box: one that holds one ruler and one that holds five .

The schematic diagram of the measurement data is attached to the lid of the box, so you can place the corresponding ruler back in its place to organize the data later.

我经常会用卷尺进行量体作业，用来为我自己和我的朋友制作衣物。

偶尔我既要测量数据又需要停下测量工作来记录数据，这会让我感觉混乱。

宜家提供用来测量家具尺寸的纸尺子，事实上一直都是服装从业者常用的工具：

易得，易弯曲，足够便宜(事实上几乎免费)。

以上就是这个模型诞生的背景。

设计一个卷筒，可以将纸尺卷进去，得益于打印机的精度，可以为尺子设计一个较小的夹持口以便于整齐的撕开。

当测量好数据时，只需要简单的撕开尺子，就记录下了需要获得的数据。

待测量完成后一次性将数据整理出来可以提高工作效率。

人体的各部位很少超过2m，所以一小截透明胶就可以将卷尺的长度扩展到2m。足以应付大多数情况的使用。

装配说明：

这些是打印件：

中间的转动轴我提供了两种版本：
一种是如上图，需要组合的版本

另一种则是需要通过支撑来打印的版本：

它的顶部一个小的凸起，这样可以使你在不需要底部手柄的情况下将拉出的卷尺收回。

根据你的需要选择其中一种即可。我选择的是需要组合的版本。

将转轴组合，看一下为卡扣预留的凹槽就不会弄错方向。

将纸尺的末端定位到凹槽

用卡扣一侧卡住凹槽，旋转一下， 让卡扣两侧卡住凹槽

将转轴放入外壳，并按压到位

插入手柄，旋转，将纸尺收紧。

将尺子略微拉出一些，将头部插入卡口缝隙，并穿过卡口。(略微上下滑动将会更容易使其穿过)

再次用手柄收紧尺子即可。

测量完毕后，按住卡口然后撕断尺子，然后换一个新的卷尺测量下一个尺寸。

如何确定某一个尺子所记录的数据是身体哪一个部位的？

使用不同的颜色来标记，在尺子的顶部贴上标记，书写文字，或者像我在本文最后使用的方法。

同时模型中也提供了一个托盘模型，可以储存5个尺子。

事实上，我还制作了两个版本的收纳盒:一个装和五个装。

测量数据所代表的示意图被我贴在盒盖上，这样可以将对应的尺子放回该处，以便最后整理数据。
