Summary

Turn a carpenters folding rule or metal rulers into a marking gauge / depth stop. By tightening the lever the position of the ruler can be fixed.

Printed in place.

Best printed flat - as designed. Supports are required only towards printing bed, but no inner support. After printing the lever might be sticky. To loosen it gently slide e.g. a flat knife between lever and housing.

Design updated to support thin metal rulers. Don't tighten lever too much, otherwise ruler might cut into clamp.

Updates:

  • [2019-05-12] Support for thin metal rulers (ruler bed raised if ruler thickness < 2mm)
  • [2020-12-27] Allow angled fence

Have fun!
