3D printed frame for converting a cheap digital caliper into a precise height gauge. It can be operated standing upright and lying flat.

See:

You can measure:

the extension of the router bit on your router table
the distance between fence and router bit
the extension of your circular saw blade
distances with the still usable caliper jaws
etc

The caliper used is a digital \"Carbon Fiber Composites Digital Caliper\" for around 5\u20ac.

You find it on amazon, aliexpress, etc. Other calipers very likely fit too, but I cannot guarantee for that.

The caliper is glued into the frame with a double sided tape. Assembly time: 5min.

The idea is rather old. See e.g. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4243056 and https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4603876 and others.
