Printed with 4-6 walls and 45% infill for stiffness. 

Here in (tolerances on holes etc. are made for ) PET-CF with the nut-grooves towards the bed and with tree supports for the groove-holes.

CC for the m8 bolts is 130isch and the maximum width of bord or bar you could fit between the two skateboard bearings is 108~mm.

Hardware is m8 bolt + nut X2 and then a couple of skateboard bearings.

How to use:

  1. Simply lay the tool down on the square tube or plank with the bearings facing down.

  2. Twist it so the bearings hug the profile on each side

  3. Put a scribe or thin marker pen in the hole and draw the line along the profile (making sure to keep tention on the centertool so both bearings press on each side of the profile of which, where you want your centerline to be drawn.

The tool will keep your marker in the center of the profile as long as both bearings are touching each side of what you want to find the center of. 

Practical for would and metal workers and takes about 30mins to print on a reasonably fast printer (i used the Qidi Plus 4).
