Calipers

Project developed by [Austin Kastel]

Template:Statusboxtop Template:Status-design Template:Status-prototype You can help Appropedia by contributing to the next step in this OSAT's status. Template:Boxbottom

Abstract

  1. Calipers are needed in a variety of circumstances where precise measurements are required. Additionally calipers are often times limited in size and 3D printed ones will not be as accurate. This design utilizes a ruler so the accuracy of the product will be as accurate as a ruler and also scalable to longer length measuring sticks. This design is an improvement on a previous OSAT I found. Since this design doesn't require a ruler to be printed and it also includes the ability to measure internal diameters.

Bill of Materials

  1. Ruler
  2. Glue, I used a Plastic bonder by J-B Weld
    1. Upload and link to all source files from open source CAD
    2. Upload and link to all STLs

Tools needed for fabrication of the OSAT

  1. MOST Delta RepRap or similar RepRap 3-D printer

Technical Specifications and Assembly Instructions

  1. All parts will need to be rotated 90 degrees in the slicer. The slider and Back will need to have supports generated for the overhangs.

Once they are all printed Glue the "Back" onto the ruler, put on the slider, then glue on the back plate.

Common Problems and Solutions

  • Include common mistakes/problems to avoid in building your OSAT and how to overcome them

Cost savings

  • If your solution is not a low cost one then it is not really appropriate.
  1. Estimate your costs
  2. Find a commercial equivalent, cite it and put the [url in square brackets]
  3. Calculate $ savings and % savings

Benefited Internet Communities

  • Name and add links to at least 5 using single brackets around [url name]

References

  • The sources of information (e.g. engineering handbooks, journal articles, government documents, webpages, books, magazine articles etc.). References should use the <ref> </ref> and <references/> tags and can be in any format but should include all the information necessary for someone else to find the same information you did. For example: [1]
  1. web page: Department of Energy (DOE) Landscaping and Energy Efficiency, DOE/GO-10095 (1995) Available: http://www.eren.doe.gov/erec/factsheets/landscape.html

Based on the developmental needs addressed (e.g. food, heat, electricity, clean water, health care, etc.) be sure to label your device in the proper categories e.g. use [[Category:Water]]. Be sure to categorize your device so that it will be easy to find – for example “Low voltage connection basics” is categorized in [[Category:How tos]] [[Category:Electricity]] [[Category:Electric lighting]].
