so i sold 4 "dimensionizer" tools for resellers to take photos with 2 perpendicular rulers
<
linext>
i'm running into a problem with tolerance when printing in different colors/materials
<
linext>
the material can make it off just a little bit, which if too tight, the rulers don't fit
<
linext>
it too loose, then the rulers just slide around
<
linext>
i need some design to allow a little bit of variation and still be tight
<
linext>
i don't know, maybe a tube that fits a 1.75mm filament arc with the crest poking out into the slot
<
linext>
something springy

think that's something you alway's run into with fdm printing but for that price you probably can figure out how to add a locking screw

linext either just add a notch for a spring metal clip or print a compliant arc in it.

guso78k: We have ord and chr
<

echo(chr(ord("A")+4-1));
<
guso78k>
ahh same as perl.
<
guso78k>
i chose: chr(64+i)
<
guso78k>
thank you for the quick response
<

linext_ good idea
<

and easy tunable by cutting shorter
<

i decided to try another method

i put blocks and spheres at the contact points

i can just file them down slightly if the fit is too tight
J24k41 has joined #openscad
<

how is a block working as spring? TPU?
<
linext_>
the plastic can bend a little if it's a small contact patch
<
linext_>
if it doesn't bend enough, i'll file it down
<
linext_>
the rulers are smooth so there won't be much friction
<
linext_>
i put the contacts away from the text so it won't rub off
<
J24k41>
if you bevel the slot so the ruler is pressed by a spring\filament into that chamfer for the perfect fit
<
linext_>
i may end up using both methods
<
linext_>
i'm printing out the "contacts" version now
