Yet another bolt and nut measuring tool.

Made my own iteration to have a public domain one - those things should be so ubiquitous to be available in dollar stores!

My design goals:

  • Small and handy, but usable up to M8 (not everybody uses M10+)
  • Able to measure commonly used metric blot lengths
  • The texts should be large and easy to print, even with larger nozzles
  • The slots to check sizes should be easily usable - even when taking out nuts
  • Add some holes on the back for magnets (4x φ6 t3 neodymium magnets)
  • Add fillets on the bottom to prevent problems caused by the elephant foot effect
  • Use parametric tolerances - everybody has a printer with different tolerances (fusion360 parameters)
