This Tiny Tower helps you print good-fitting parts. No more need to print multiple gauge blocks to find the required clearance. Tiny Tower does it in 2 parts.

A 5.7 degree taper angle works like a magnifying glass. It magnifies the clearance needed by 5 times and shows it as a gap between the base and the top of the tower.

Measure the gap -> divide it by 5 -> that's your clearance for perfect fits.

No gap - means your prints fit well without extra clearance.

This tower was tested on 2 printers and in 3 filaments. You can help me improve Tiny Tower by sharing your results.

P.S. Don't squeeze the tower too much, you won't be able to separate the parts after :)
