Getting Ready to Print
1. Clean Your Bed
Give your print bed a good wash with dish soap and warm water to remove any oils or particles. This step is crucial for small details like the text to come out clearly.
Avoid relying solely on isopropyl alcohol—it may not get rid of all the residue.
2. Check Your Nozzle
Make sure the nozzle is clean and free of clogs or partial blockages.
Printing & Post-Processing Tips
1. Let It Cool First
Don’t rush to remove the parts from the bed. Let everything cool completely to avoid bending or damaging the print.
2. Clean Up
After printing, carefully remove any brim ears from the card piece.
3. First Use
The first few times you slide the caliper's parts together, they may feel a bit tight. That’s normal and will ease with use.
How to Use the Caliper
- For internal measurements: Use the jaws marked with " in " - For external measurements: Use the outer jaws. - Slide the components into place and start measuring .

Printing Tips for Success
- A clean bed makes all the difference for precise, readable details. - While the design is fully compatible with a 0.4mm nozzle , you can opt for a 0.2mm nozzle for even sharper text details.

Mini Schieblehre - 0.2mm nozzle, 0.08mm layer, Original gedruckt auf meinem A1 mini mit einer 0,2 mm Düse. Habe es mehrmals mit einer 0,4 mm Düse probiert, aber hatte immer Probleme die Einzelteile der Schieblehre in die Karte einzuklemmen. Habe deswegen es mit der 0,2 mm Düse versucht und siehe da, es gab keine Probleme. Braucht zwar länger, aber der Druck sieht meiner Meinung nach auch qualitativ besser aus. Auch den text habe ich angepasst. Beim A1 mini verteile ich die einzelnen Objekte auch gerne auf mehrere Druckplatten, weil so der Druck meiner Meinung nach qualitativ besser ausfällt. Sind mehrere Objekte auf einer Druckplatte, so besteht immer die Gefahr dass durch den ständigen Wechsel die Qualität leidet. Dies gilt insbesondere für den kleinenA1 mini. Die Druckzeiten verlängern sich dadurch auch nur unwesentlich. Wem das Druckprofil gefallen hat, den bitte ich um eine positive Bewertung
