Description
This is the Medium version of the Ruler Stop designed for rulers and scales with a cross‑section of 0.5 × 15 mm.
A more compact Small version is also available here:

For long-term durability, I deliberately chose metric metal screws (M3) instead of self‑tapping screws or purely printed clamping solutions. This ensures stable clamping force over time and prevents wear of the threads.
Thanks to its larger design, the Medium version provides a wider contact surface, which means the ruler stop tilts noticeably less during marking out and rests more steadily against the ruler—especially when applying higher pressure for precise work.
Ideal for workshop use, model making, drafting, marking out, and precise measuring tasks.
