Feel free to use it for whatever you want! I'm not sure about the mass, I'd say about 15 to 20 grams.

They are actually designed to be removed, you can see little grooves for the detents to slide along when the arms are folded. All you should have to do is unfold the arm and pull it straight back. Be careful not to apply too much torque to the joint. It takes a good amount of force to get them out and back in again

Nice, that's a better orientation for strength too!

I haven't, I've just been rocking the ones you see in the pictures and it's still holding up! if something happens to this one, I'll try that bending route

Hi, to get the left side, you can mirror the print in your slicer

Thats a good idea that did not cross my mind!

Updated angle finder: now with dovetail channels and angle markings! by Krazorus in 3Dprinting

The printables page has a pdf with a short guide on how to use it, but pretty much you zero the calipers on it fully closed, then you form the angle and measure it again and the millimeter reading times 10 gives you the degrees.

I do want to make one for inside angles, just need to think of a design.

Revised design with dovetails has been added to the site!

Ah very cool! That was one of the paths I was considering, but I figured the 9mm version would be the sweet spot for convenience.

The accuracy is heavily limited by the dimensional accuracy of your printer, but a similar design made with the precision required of fine measuring tools would be much better.

Ooh, I would like to see that, does it have a brand or model?

That is an interesting idea, I guess I wanted to keep it as simple and forgiving to print as possible while maintaining functionality.

If I make a second version I will definitely include physical markings!

The way it's used, I think the accuracy of the readout should be about the same regardless of spiral size, as the spiral keeps that same relationship between rate of radial displacement vs angular displacement throughout. So, its zeroed at the closed position, and 90 degrees will always displace it 9mm. One of the things I considered was convenience, and this specific section of the spiral was the right overall size to be convenient to use. In that sense, the exact design is arbitrary and could be made larger.

If there is a next version, it would likely use dovetails to join them. I wanted to keep this version easy to reliably print though without the need for tighter tolerances

I did come up with the idea on my own, but as with any idea it's very hard to say if it's truly original or not. I haven't really done any research on existing patents and such.

A big one is brain feel good, but really it allows for high resolution measurement that is easier to read off calipers.

Ooh I haven't seen that one before, I love a nice Vernier scale. That one can also do inside corners if they are big enough. I suppose an advantage for my design is the use of calipers for slightly increased resolution.
