Description
I did not want to steal the clicks from the original designer on this very nice design. Therefore I published only the slider here, which I did myself. Please get the the ruler from the original design: https://www.printables.com/model/1119026-updated-calipers-cm
You will need supports on the backside of the lower extension. But this plane is not relevant for the measurement accuracy, and is typically not visible, so don't worry about a somewhat rough surface as a result of the supports touching there.
To achieve the needed springingness of the two printed springs, I recommend to use PETG.
Happy printing!
