I designed this caliper style scale for my GEEETECH i3 printer so I am able to tune screw for Z axis switch when I change to different bed platform or nozzle that is different hight of previous one...

I still have to do some fine tuning afterwards but this scale helps me get to this final stage of fine tuning faster and easily...

I printed both objects with 0.5 nozzle and with support.

I could have played with changing filament at the final stage of print for upper black stripes of scale but I didn't. I used fine black permanent marker to do this....it works fine for me.

Objects could be shorter and its shape a little bit more optimised. Maybe I will do it in the future but I doubt it....

Today I uploaded another version (V2) which is smaller and does not stick so far out... I also made some changes to the scale stripes with this version...

This time I did not use black marker for stripes. I changed filaments during print (bottom part only). One of the uploaded pictures shows hights on object when stripes starts...
