I was given an Ender 3 Pro last week and after a few bumps managed to successfully CAD, slice and print a booster seat for my phone. The caddy as it was would grab the volume down button on my phone, this little wedge solves the issue!

    I highly recommend investing in some calipers, even a cheap <$10 set to start.

      I have an old set of vernier calipers that got me all of the non-curved measurements.

      It’s been years and I still hasn’t even crossed my mind that I should upgrade from my $7 calipers.

        I upgraded from my cheapo set for 10 micron precision, since I’m reaching that scale with some of my fabrications.

            Not specifically. I spent $30 on a metal one on Amazon that seemed to have good real reviews.

          That’s awesome!! What are you fabricating with that you need that precision? Also what are you making?

            Parts for a thing. Don’t want to spoil the surprise just yet.
