The design in question is for an extension or add-on accessory for a caliper, known as a radius finder.
This tool is specifically engineered to measure circumferences that are beyond the reach of the caliper's existing jaws, due to their length constraints.
The central feature of this extension is its ability to accurately determine and display the actual radius of the measured circumference directly on the caliper's indicator. This is a crucial functionality for precise measurement tasks where direct access is limited or the circumference is too large for standard caliper jaws.
Furthermore, the design includes a highly versatile screw adjustment mechanism. This mechanism is a key aspect of the add-on, allowing it to seamlessly adapt to a wide range of caliper sizes. Such adaptability ensures that the radius finder can be universally applied across different models and brands of calipers, significantly enhancing the tool's utility and flexibility in various measurement scenarios.
By incorporating this feature, the design addresses a common challenge faced by users, ensuring that the radius finder is not only functional but also widely compatible and easy to integrate with the existing tools in a professional or hobbyist's toolkit.
Due to the precision nature of this tool, it is essential to use a very well-calibrated 3D printer. Additionally, due to the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) process, there may be slight errors in the measurements.
Materials:
1x M3 Thread
1x M3 Thread Insert
| Nozzle Size | 0.4mm |
| Layer Height | 0.2mm |
| Infill Density | 20% or more |
| Infill Pattern | Cubic |
| Wall Line Count | 3 or more |
| Wall Orientation | Outside To Inside |
| Supports | NO |
| Material | PLA or PETG |
| Print Orientation | STL orientation |
Join the grip (or glue it) with the M3 thread:
Add the M3 Nut insert in the hole of the radius finder:
It's done! :)
Simply bring the extender close to any circumference and extend the pivot that the caliper has at the bottom.
Lightly touch the circumference without applying force.
The measurement corresponds to the radius.
