About this 3D model

Summary I liked the design ot White_Panters ruler stop. But as my ruler was realy thin with only 0,75 mm his design just did not clamp it. So I redesigned it from scratch in SolidWorks, while copying his style. I also upgraded to a bigger screw and put the nut in the bottom. So you can now tighten the screw by hand, even without a cap. This actual 3MF-File is for a ruler 24.6 mm x 0.75 mm. Even without the screw it clamps nicely. SolidWorks-File is included, so you can configure the part to your specific ruler. Or you may ask me to make a specific version. I just added a cap, which is to be pressed on the head of a standard M5 hex head. Such a head should have a diameter of about 8.4 mm. You need: M5 x 20 hex socket Screw M5 Nut ot be pressed in the bottom Washer 10x1 mm to be pressed in on top Printing setup Print it with the flat side on the printer bed. No support needed. I reccomend using raft, as I had several failures with the smal lip when trying without. Layer hight 0.2 at least 3 perimeters/shells low infill (10%) for the cap Orient the hole on the bed. It is designed to be printed with the hollow insided. So you will get a nice finished top. Do not use support print with raft. Layer hight 0.2 5 perimeters/shells print with PETG, so it will be somewhat elastic for the pressfit. PLA might crack.
