I wanted a miter gauge that was more precise than the ones that typically come with saws. This model features an easy-to-read scale with a vernier subscale measuring down to 0.05 degree precision.  

Modeled in two sizes, the smaller for miter slots 100mm from the saw blade, and larger for miter slots 130 mm from the blade. 

The square “waffle” pattern helps to reduce warping while printing, and allows some sawdust to gather without getting between the jig and the workpiece. 

Additional hardware used:

Bring your own runner to fit in your saw's miter slot and ability to drill/tap some holes,
An M5x20mm dowel pin for the pivot,
An M46x20mm hex cap screw for the knob, 
Two 5x12mm button head cap screws to hold down the vernier scale
Two M4 set screws to precisely adjust zero on the scale.

Print settings:

Use 0.4mm nozzle with 0.16 layer height. For best legibility on the scale, print outer walls first and iron all top surfaces. No AMS required, just use a couple of pauses/filament changes to put a contrasting color on the scale.
