I like the design of the original caliper mount, but I managed to snap a supporting vane off mine while removing it from the print bed.
I remixed that model to thicken those vanes slightly, and now I have no troubles printing robust versions of these in PLA, with these settings:
- line width of 0.42mm
- layer height 0.25mm
- 4 walls
- 20% infill
This model holds the weight of a regular digital caliper comfortably, when mounted with an M3 screw & nut insert from the original HSW model.
Printed 4mm taller, it can also comfortably hold two plastic calipers.
UPDATE-17Oct'23: Increased the height of the lip on each vane, to reduce the risk of accidentally knocking the calipers off the holder.
