This model is my V1 of my Woodworking Square w/ Push Tab. I have now made a V2 that is ENTIRELY 3d-printed! Just as strong and actually more effective, as I have gone back and made small but significant changes to allow better ease of use :)

Have you seen these new woodworking squares with the awesome tabs/support edges that help steady the square to guide it while drawing a line?
Benchdog Tools, JessEm, and others have come out with their own unique take on this concept….
This one is mine and was inspired by a push latch mechanism posted by Adam ( @A548 ).
The print itself is ridiculously simple and, besides a few screws (listed below), it is also pretty simple to put together.
The beauty of this square is that the tab only comes out when you want it to.
If you want to use it, just press on the tab… and Viola! A rad little edge will appear to help stabilize the square.
Finished using it? Press the tab inwards to make it go away!
The graduations on the rule are in Metric (5mm apart with longer lines every 20mm and 50mm)
Print Settings:
Layer Height: 0.25
Walls: 3
Infill: 10-15% (I used Honeycomb, but use what you are comfortable with)
Orientation: Refer to photos
Supports: None
Post-Print Suggestions: I have noticed that the Slider STL has a tendency to be ever-so-slightly too wide. Rather than risk making it too small, I have been sanding down the left, right, and bottom of the Slider. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to also slightly sand the sides of the Bottom (only the parts where the Slider interacts). This is just to help guide the Slider and reduce any friction.
Hardware:
Seven - M4 Hex Nuts
Seven - M4 x 12mm Taper Head Screws
One - M3 Hex Nut
One - M3 x 12mm Pan Head Screw
One - Small Spring from a clicking Pen
Hope this helps and happy printing!
