Digital Height Gauge

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€.

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.
