Description

Upgraded articulated print-in-place ruler, now also on Printables!

I use this for wargaming, the starting end is curved to fit nicely to a model's base. 

Upgrades:

  • The joints of pieces are now positioned so that smaller lengths can more easily be measured with longer rulers
  • More (and longer!) sizes available
  • Licence permits remixes!

Sizes available: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 16, 18, 24 inches. 36 inch coming soon!

You need to apply a little force when snapping the articulated parts free. When you encounter breaking joints, you need to verify that your first layer is laid down well - use elephant's foot correction if necessary.

Bambu Lab's PLA Basic works well for me, but filaments with bad (or way too good) layer adhesion strength could break more easily.

I uploaded models with numbers and without numbers, so you can add numbers yourself if you wish. I have also added a BambuStudio 3mf with editable text numbers - could also work fine on Prusa and Orca slicers, but I have not tested them myself.
