This is remix of the apparently unloved (unmade?) simple 2-part vernier caliper by harkiirat. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4509947
I printed that but it was unusable because of 0.7mm clearance between the two parts. I modified 'slider' part in F360 to make a light sliding fit. This results in a simple, handy caliper that works and feels smooth. It's probably accurate to 0.15mm-ish up to 20-40mm - OK for roughly sizing parts at a desk during design but, look, it's a printed plastic vernier - don't go designing critical parts with it.
The graticule prints out deep and clear - easy to fill with paint.
'Rule' part stays unchanged and is just included here for convenience, now as .STL.
'Slider' needs support to bed, 'rule' doesn't. Print them both 'flat', that's fine. PLA is probably OK but I had PETG loaded so...
