8/18/15 Update
I've added a new STL version with 'quick release.' This works great if you only need the caliper attachment occasionally.
(Note... The rendering shows the updates, but the photos are of the old version)

This thing provides a means of mounting a caliper to your lathe without modification to the caliper. A shield is included to protect the lathe operator's hand from injury as well as protecting the caliper jaws from damage while using the equipment.This is a remix of Bot719's excellent bracket. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:17970. Many thanks to the original designers!
I've printed this and it works well. I'll post photos soon along with some other caliper brackets I'm working on.
