UPDATE: 2022/12/14

No changes in this update, just a big thank you to everyone that's downloaded, posted a make, remixed, or re-shared this model!

This was only the fourth model I shared and was the first \u2018big project\u2019 I took on while learning Fusion 360. The overwhelmingly positive response and feedback I've received from the Printables community has been amazingly positive and motivating during a challenging time in my own life.

Its just so cool to see over 150 makes of this model that everyone's shared since I first posted ithis in April of this year.

I don't have a Patreon or ko-fi or anything, so if you'd like to show support just post a make, print a remix, or check some of my other work on Printables. Here are a few other projects I shared during this crazy year that I'm particularly proud of:

So, again, thank you for your support! Never stop making, remixing, and sharing. :)

Rapid Metric Screw Measuring Tool

A remix of the already excellent Screw measuring tool, M2-M10, 4-120mm by Boogie, itself a remix of Quickly Measure & Sort M2, M3, M4, & M5 Metric Screws up to 50mm Long by Sneaks, with some inspiration from FlashTech's \u201cScrew measuring tool, M2-M5, 4-50mm, MultiColor (MMU)\u201d.

Remixed Things

Not a long boy
Slightly increased font size on left side labels
Added recesses on the bottom for quickly identifying most M2-M5 nuts
Added recesses on the bottom for threaded heat-set inserts to quickly verify thread spacing
Included a Fusion 360 file full of little tweaks and surprises to accelerate your own remixing adventures!

Options

Plain and Simple

Hangin Around

Magnetically Inclined

Printing Advice

This should print fine in just about any flavor of filament.

I used snug supports to keep the bottom-side recesses cozy but you may be able to get away with going supports-free.

edit 2022-07-06: For adding threaded inserts I'd recommend printing with 4+ perimeters to make sure the inserts don't dig in past the socket perimeters, which can weaken their hold quite a bit.

Tested prints with Prusament PETG on a well-worn Prusa MINI+.

Parts List

No parts are required to get a functional measuring device, but threaded inserts are nice. :)

The model was designed around these parts but if you have different inserts on hand then it should be simple to just change the measurements in the Fusion 360 file (on the \u201cOutline, Nuts & Inserts\u201d sketch) for a customized model.

M2: McMaster-Carr 94459A120, \u00d8 3.3mm
M2.5: CNC Kitchen M2.5 Standard, \u00d8 4.6mm
M3: CNC Kitchen M3 Standard, \u00d8 4.6mm
M4: CNC Kitchen M4 Short, \u00d8 6.3mm
M5: CNC Kitchen M5 Short, \u00d8 7.1mm
Mag Feet: Adafruit Mini Magnet Feet

EDIT NOTE: The original post listed the wrong M2.5 insert part, which was updated on 07/06/22 thanks to a helpful comment from @orax. The M2.5 insert socket on this part is made for a 4.6mm diameter insert, like the CNC Kitchen part available from PrusaPrinters, rather than the 4.1mm-diameter McMaster Carr part originally listed. Sorry about that!

This is one of my first models with Fusion 360 so any feedback or recommendations are very welcome. Thanks! :)
