this is a wip. i will be tweaking and adding files and information as i go. any comments questions or suggestions are welcome. these are a set of "precision" tools that are printable.

WARNING: do not scale this project it will mess up the measurements. if something does not fit on your build platform you can either copy my original from tinker cad and adjust it to fit, or ask and i can see if i can break up the sets into smaller sets to accommodate.

i am new to 3d printing having just built my kit last month and just started to design a few weeks after that, so any hints tips or advice is more than welcome. constructive criticism helps me construct better.

after i built my 3d printer it took all of 3 seconds before the kids in my family wanted in. i am more than happy to share and teach, however i start to get teary eyed at the thought my expensive precision tools being destroyed by hyperactive 6 year old. being a tinkerer i have a large set of precision tools and know the importance of "the right tool for the job". i have also had more than one tool broken by someone abusing it because they didn't know how to use it properly or didn't care to. so now i can print a set for each kid, then they can all learn how to use them and start in on their own projects! and my tools can live for at least one more day!

so far i have a set of feeler gauges designed for mm and inch. and a hole gauge set in the same. a 6 in simple ruler inch/centimeter with a v-block to help hold round objects in the center for marking. a set of simple calipers in cm and inch. a fillet gauge in mm and inch with convex and concave ends. a speed bevel to mark or measure angles quickly. more tools will be included in the final set. i hope that they enable people who are starting off in 3d printing and design to be able to have a precision tool set that is adequate for design and testing of their projects and machines. nothing replaces a quality set of durable precision instruments hence the quotation marks around precision in the title however this printable set should serve as a working set until better tools can be acquired, or may serve as a permanent set/loner set. plus its always nice to be able to simply reprint a broken or lost tool.

Thanks to jbeegs30 for the correction on the inch gauge and the file upload.
