I’ve always struggled with measuring machine screws and nuts, so when I came across this model, I knew it was the perfect solution. I printed it out, and it turned out great! The print quality was fantastic, and swapping the colors during the print was super easy. The two colors really help make the numbers stand out, which is a huge plus.One thing that could make this model even better is adding numbers on the bottom of the measurer. This would make it easier to tell the size of the nuts at a glance. But overall, it’s a fantastic model that has made my life a lot easier.
For the print settings, I used a 0.2 mm layer height, PLA filament, and had supports on with 20% infill. These settings worked perfectly for this print.

Good file, did what it needed to do quite well.

Forgot to set the colour change for the last step. Turned out good. Thanks for the design!

My text is a bit messy but pretty good for my first colour-change print. Probably could have sliced it more finely or printed the numbers slower, I'm not sure.

@pbone_1683134 A resolution of 0.2 mm should be sufficient. Printing the numbers more slowly can also lead to a better result :)

After the filament change there was a gloob of filament left on the nozzle and it messed up the M2 text. Other than that its pretty perfect! I should have waited a longer to let the excess filament purge more, then brush the nozzle, then resume the print.

Neat little tool,
will be a great present for tinkerers for christmas
Thanks for the design !
