Out of all the metrology videos I have watched,
this is the first I have seen to show this procedure....
thank you so much, cheers from Florida.....Paul
hi Paul, thank you for the nice comment and thank you for taking time to comment. It is much appreciated.
Ray
Great video Ray! Nice to see how committed you are to this. Keep it up
thank you for the comment and thank you for taking time to comment

I love the different colours, one in a nice JCB yellow would look good. Although that might go for a walk.😮
thank you for the nice comment and thank you for taking the time to comment. It is much appreciated.
Very, very nice project and informational video. Thank you.
Thank you for your nice comment and thank you for taking the time to comment. It is much appreciated.
Always knowledge packed vids
thanks for the nice comment and thank you for taking the time to comment. It is much appreciated.
Ray
Love all the iterations you made here!
Thank you for the nice comment and thank you for taking the time to comment. It is much appreciated.
Thanks, Ray. I have the parts printed and just need the metal bits.
that’s awesome Paul
If you have time, email me a photo of it at. shop and math@gmail.com
Thanks Ray IL have to come by one day see the new shop. I manly doing two courses at Humber CNC set up and Master Cam
I commend you for showing how it works, then how it's assembled. Subbed!
thank you for the comment and thank you for the sub. It is much appreciated.
Ray
👍Very cool. Makes me wish 3-D printing wasn’t beyond my ability.
Thank you for taking time to comment. It’s much appreciated.
He has given you all the STL files which can be converted to DXF. CNC it out of aluminum if you want. THANK YOU Ray for your sharing and generosity.

I have no idea what any of that meant. 😃👍
Yes this is relatively easy to make if you want to make it out of steel or aluminum as well there are dimensions on the drawings that are posted to give you better ideas for rough sizes
I have been working on this particular adventure for about 7 or 8 years now my goal is to be able to make a super reliable durable tool at the lowest possible price and the younger generation is easily adapted to 3D printing
As you probably know I teach apprenticeship and you would be surprised at the number of people that I run into that don't know how to check squareness that is including licensed tradesman this is my little contribution to try and help the situation out
if you have any ideas on how to make it better even small improvements I'd love to hear it thank you for taking the time to comment it is much appreciated
Ray I was replying to davidcat1455 who didn't have a 3d printer and apparently didn't have a grasp of other CNC technologies. He thought your part was cool and I tried to point out it could be made with basic tools and common materials. I had ZERO intent to disparage your design and all the wonderful work you have done improving the model to its current state. Again, thank you for sharing the model and files. I have deleted my last reply to davidcat1455.
love the design but not the colors
The colours weren’t my first choice. It just so happens that that was the plastic that I had in the machine at the time and let’s be honest it will prevent people from borrowing it.
Thank you for the nice comment. I hope that you take the time to print one for yourself and leave comments.
Ray
Thanks for sharing the print files. Would it be possible to get a full BOM list too?
I don’t actually have a list maybe on next year’s update I’ll create one. Thank you for the suggestion.
Hey Ray The link takes you to the Conestoga Singe In Page
Thousand apologies the link has been updated. If it gives you any other problems please message me back.
Can you share original CAD files or STEP files?
Hi Ray Question What type or brand of printer are you using? Thanks
hi Joe long time no see
For the larger prints that you could see the video on, that was a K-1 and the smaller knobs I used a flash forge all the materials, PLA
This is a great design. What is the length of the 1/4-28 for the indicator adjustment bolt?
i’m using an entrance recorder, but fourth thread 2 1/4 inch would be better but that’s what I had on hand
1.75 long, but should be 2.25 long full thread
@@shopandmath Thank you! Have the main body 3d printing now. Making something like this accessible for a learning hobbyist is great. Thank you again for helping out the community!
Im printing it as we speak now cause i love this idea! The only problem is that i can only find 12mm rods..! How can i edit the file??
Thank you
sorry, I currently don’t have time to edit files it’s end of semester
you can get them on Amazon. These are stainless steel ones they just want rust and they look kind of cool.

Ya lost all respect from me when ya printed that out of lime green and pink plastic. Barbie would be proud.😂
it’s actually purple
And this consistent colour scheme is a bit of a theft deterrent
I’m absolutely not going to defend the colour scheme that I chose. It was extra PLA plastic that I had.
For me it was when he said 16 tenths

A squareness tool made out of plastic? I hope this is just a demonstration unit that will eventually made out of steel. As a Journeyman Tool and Die Maker I find myself gobsmacked by the foolish use of plastic.
I’m guessing you don’t have a 3-D printer?
If you did, my suggestion is print one and you’ll see how well they actually work a lot of time and thought has been put into this. They can do as accurate measurement as any other square checker you can buy that’s made out of steel. The only thing I could suggest is to make one and try it out for yourself , they’re currently is four of them in the shop right now with students using them and they are extremely durable
Certain components need to be replaced every six months due to breakage from students dropping them
I hope this helps
