nice job.I printed to measure control surfaces' travel of my rc glider and used thickened CA glue to keep the paper in place:)
V2.0 Coming soon! What are some improvements that could be made?
Which app did you use to design the marking stickers?
@SpruceGoose_1915350 I used Adobe Illustrator, I can share the files if you want.
@TechTastic I'm remixing this model and making the measurement arm thicker, so I need to design a new marking sticker. I wanted to know how you made the marking sticker precise and properly scaled without pixelation.
Neat! You should consider making a variant where the slider wraps around the ">90°" angle side. Currently you can measure any (exterior) obtuse angles but only acute angles of things that fit within the "pizza slice" formed by the wedges and the slider. An alternative version with the slider going around the other way would reverse this relationship, and one could print both to use for different situations.
Another interesting challenge could be to think up ways to adapt it to measure interior angles as well! :D

@TechTastic New Version out! Includes innovative solution to this problem by squeezing in a 2nd arm, hope you like it!
@TechTastic Awesome! And a very clever solution!
@fymetool Looks great! Very clean print. How are the tolerances?
@TechTastic Very good. The print went out without any problems and works very well.
Any reason why the rails are "> >" and not "/ \"? I printed it with my creality ender3 v2 and the slider kept slipping off.
@SpruceGoose_1915350 That is a great idea, I tested many different types of rails but for my printer’s tolerances, I found >> to work better. If you want like, I will upload a \ / version for you to try. Thanks for the suggestion!
