Summary

I work a lot with soft foams lately. I tried using my caliper to measure their thickness, but the result depends a lot on the pressure i applied.

These dish adapters give me better, repeatable results, because they increase the contact area between the foam and the caliper and thus the force needed to compress the material.

The STL is for a standard caliper.
