Caliper Case for Mitutoyo Calipers

A proper box to hold Mitutoyo's 6" digital calipers and those similar to those calipers. 

The box is cut to accommodate for printers with a bed size of 235mm x 235mm like the Ender 3 or printers with the same bed dimensions. If your bed is too small cutting the box or the lid further may be required. 

 

Parts are required to fully use the box. Two m3 x 30 screws and two m3 nuts are used for the hinge. Two magnets are used to keep the lid shut. These magnets have a diameter of 10mm and a thickness of 3mm. I got mine from an old car phone holder, but you can find some on Amazon or other sites. Lastly, 6 pins are needed to combine the two halves of the box. You can use bamboo skewers or toothpicks with a diameter of 3mm, 3mm filament, or the pins created along with the box. They require a length of 20mm long. (20mm long and 3mm wide). Use glue to attach the pins and the case.

Made in Tinkercad so no .step files or anything like for easy remixing. Feel free to modify the box to match what you need. 

Tested and works. Some sanding of the pins may be needed and a string or strip may be needed to easily take the caliper out.
