About this model
I posted a tool for assessing horizontal expansion a while back that a few people found useful. I've updated it a few times since, so here is the current version I am using now. Changes include: - added tapered spacers top & bottom on both parts - this prevents top & bottom artefacts / flaring from interfering with the measurement - measures in one axis only - my original tapered-cylinder design effectively measures whichever axis exhibits more HE, and I wondered if there would be a difference in X vs Y (in the end I didn't see any) - "magnification" now 100x - the original was 80x, which made it easier to make a mistake in the mental math if I was in a hurry The tick-marks are 1 mm apart, with bigger triangles every 5th mm, and each mm of mis-alignment represents 10 microns (0.01 mm) of h…
