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!

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.

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

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

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