Simple tool to measure the distance between two holes, when calipers alone won't do.
Simply print the slider and two pins that fit the size of the holes you want to measure. Insert the pins as deep as the holes allow and use the included scale to read the distance between the holes. Alternatively, you can use calipers and subtract 10 millimeters from that measurement.
You can change the filament at the height of 4mm to print the numbers in a different color or use the .3mf file made up of multiple solids if you want to change filaments in your slicer.
I printed the part in pla+ and noticed it is elastic enough to easily insert the sliding piece into the groove after the print. That is why I provided files to print the two pieces separately for printers with tolerance/stringing issues.
The Pins tolerances are 0,3mm (big tolerances or 0,15mm smaller tolerances).
Please excuse the terrible print quality on the scale in the picture. As it is just a functional part I did not bother calibrating my aging Anet A6 better for this filament.
