I have been asked to create a measuring tool similar to my “Inch Measuring Tool” https://www.printables.com/de/model/345844-inch-measuring-tool-for-screws-nuts-bolt-heads-wre

So here it is! The dimensions are based on ISO DIN 13. (I will add some fotos asap)

Front Left area:
- measuring area up to 140mm

Front Center:
- Screws, Threads from M3 - M12. This is what in my opinion is typically used.
- Wrenches from M3 (5,5mm) - M12 (19mm). Keep in mind that in special cases it might change.
- Dimensions of the drill for thread cutting
- Pitch of the thread

Front Right:
- Inner diameters for nuts


Back Area:
- Description of Hex Tool (T10 - T55)
- Measuring heads of hex screws (in DIN 13, head dimensions can differ up to 0,4 mm)
- Threads M3 - M12

Supports english and german! Look to the different font files.

Files:
I have created different files (3mf) for printing the tool:
- File with coloured fonts (front and back), front font is on top of the surface
- MMU file with coloured font integrated in the front surface
- File with coloured font on the front, cutted font on the back (standard printer, MMU not necessary)
- File with cutted fonts on front and back (standard printer)
- Font files for english and german
 

Important:
Have a look to the fonts, based on the way how you will print them, you should use font “a” or "b". Font “a” is better for coloured printing, font “b” is ideal if you cut it out of the base (front and back). If you don't know how to decide, take a look at the 3mf files. I have prepared some variations.

Printing recommendations: Printing the fonts in colour you should use max. 0.2 layer (first and also last). I tried it with 0.25 and it - let's say - “has potential to be optimized :-) ”

For my prototype (fotos) I tried to pint the base with PLA and the fonts with PETG, you shouldn't do that :-(
