Description
This foldable guage is designed to quickly be able to measure the most common distances i run into when playing Warhammer 40K with just one tool.
1" - Engagement range
2" - unit coherency
3" - pile-in / consolidate
5" - typical movement for Terminators, Gravis-models
6" - typical Space Marine movement and Setup Range for Reinforcements
9" - Setup Range for Deep-Strike and normal Reinforcements
Settings:
Layerhight 0,2mm, 100% infill
Supports: Tree, automatic (the 3 notches on the hinge of part A need to be supported, thats what the holes in the bottom are for.
Updated Version 2:
Slighly more clearance for assembly.
Added 3" text and Arrow.
Added indicators on the hinge for the 3 positions.
Text slighly bigger
Text on part now recessed instead of "on top"
Overall easier to print both parts at the same time with 2 colours if you have no filament changer.
For 2 colours add filament changes at these layerhights (assuming 0,2mm layerhight!)
0,00-1,80mm - colour 1
1.80-2.20mm - colour 2
2,20-3,80mm - colour 1
3,80-4,20mm - colour 2
4,20-5,80mm - colour 1
5,80-6,00mm - colour 2
I designed a new, even morde overengeneered ruler for the 11th Edition of Warhammer 40k:
