I think my calipers is the best and most useful tools I have. I use it very often and when I do, I'll take it and put it back often when I measure things. I've been thinking about making a stand for a long time, so today it finally happened! (Released 2025-01-04) And to be honest, I’m very satisfied with the result. 

 

The Quick Access Caliper Stand - QACS, is my 100% own design. When I did the design, it was a must to get the correct grip directly without change position of my hand after I grab the caliper. With this stand I get the correct grip directly. 

 

There are four different print profiles for 150mm, 200mm and 300mm calipers:

• QACS - Quick Access Caliper Stand for 150mm calipers
• A1 Mini version, 150mm calipers (shorter than the original)
• QACS for 200mm calipers
• QACS for 300mm calipers (two parts)

This caliper stand is designed to fit all common calipers on the market. 

So far, I haven’t received any feedback indicating that a caliper does not fit.

QACS - For 300mm / 12in long calipers

Measurements is for the two parts joined.

Length: 320mm
Depth: 60mm

Please don't lift the stand with the caliper in the stand, the joint can broke.

I recommend gluing the parts together if the stand will be moved a lot. The glue 'Loctite All Plastics' is really good.

 

 

I hope you like my stands as much as I do. 

 

I really appreciate it when you rate my models and share photos, so please do so if you want! And if you think my model deserves a boost, I'll be happy.
