Everything is a hammer unless it's a screwdriver, then it's a chisel - or in this case a hammer as well. :D Brilliantly simple design. Thanks for sharing.

HAHA! Great!

Awesome! I will be printing one of these. Thanks for sharing! I must note that I have spent much time messing with cam locking levers in what *should* have been simple designs, so I very much appreciate the margin of error issue...

A quick solution is to accept that the lever does not close completely. For that you only have to increase the tightness parameter...

This is fantastic. I enjoy your channel. Thanks for making this. I will need to try your template to make one of these myself.

Great that the video was helpful for you. Let me know if you made one yourself.

@@WayofWood Oh, I didn't think about that. I will let you know if I make one as well. I was thinking of creating a youtube channel as well related to DIY. I had one on cooking a long time ago although it was more of a promotional site to learn a little and more focusing of leading people to the website. Thanks for your insight and movitation.

Whoever disliked this video either had the printer way out of tune or doesn't even have a printer, this is damn awesome! Thanks! Plus, why don't you print a screwdriver handle now? :D

Haha - I might do that or maybe one day even make a proper small scale hammer to remove supports and handle similar tasks. 😏

I like this tool a lot, and will print a few of my own! Thank you for sharing. Do you have any reservations, apart from losing the measurement function, about printing the blades too?

I guess the ruler print would need to be quite bulky in order to be stable. But you could use a scrap or aluminum profile, a piece of acrylic or even a scrap of 3mm MDF - with all of these the stability and friction will most likely be better than with a 3d printed bar...

I wonder if you couldn't leverage another property of the PLA, that being it's ability to melt. Warming the nail and perhaps even the ruler would allow the material to reshape itself snuggly around the metal parts.

Give it a try. The challenge will be to have the ruler perpendicular to the work piece as it will be very easy to skew a hot ruler.

Great video and great design. Just a small FYI: "gauge" in English is pronounced as if the U were not there. Exactly like "cage" but with a G. I know it doesn't make sense, but it's English so nothing makes sense.

Do you mean the support? You would need to check the "Create supports" box in your slicer before sending the gcode to the printer.

I don't find the customizer on your Thingiverse website? how to do ?

@WayofWood

On the thingiverse website there is a button "Customizer". If you click on it you should be able to enter the values and get your fitting STL file. Sometimes the customerizer on thingiverse doesn't work or is very slow. In this case you can find here a guide how to customize the file on your own computer: www.thingiverse.com/thing:2812634

You just need a small change on the project to make it print without the need of supports. Make one of the sides straight and print it standing on it

Good idea. However there is also an advantage of having a very flat face that registers against the wood.

Fully understand. On the Anet the Supportseite were a pain in the neck to remove. On the CR10 however they pop out easily and aren’t a big issue.

Nett , aber nur wenn das Teil einen längeren Anschlag (5 cm) am Lineal hat.

Just open the file in OpenScad and replace "rulerwidth+10" by "rulerwidth+30" and "rulerwidth+12 by "rulerwidth+32"
