About this model

Maintaining consistent filament diameter is important for reliable 3D printing. Variations in filament thickness can affect extrusion, dimensional accuracy, and print quality. However, measuring these variations doesn't always require expensive electronic sensors or specialized equipment. For this project, I designed a simple mechanical filament diameter measurement tool that uses a dial indicator to detect changes in filament thickness. As the filament passes between two bearings, its diameter variations move the dial indicator's plunger, allowing the measurements to be observed directly on the indicator scale. The goal was to create a practical, low-cost solution that makers, engineers, and 3D printing enthusiasts can build themselves using readily available components and custom-designe…
