How to Make a Vernier Caliper Tool in Tinkercad





The one's who don't know about this amazing tool its called Vernier scale its a measuring device that consists of a main scale with a fixed jaw and a sliding jaw with an attached Vernier. I wanted one for my Aeromodelling work as we need extreme precise measurements even a small difference in change in the dimension of the object can be catastrophic.
Some applications of Vernier calipers are :
- Science Labs
- Medical Purposes
- Steel Industries
- Aerospace Industries
- Educational Sectors
Also I have added a few touches of mine in this design so it looks even better than the original.
Supplies
- 3D printer
- Tinker
Main Scale















- Take a square from the main bar and make the dimensions as shown above in the image's.
- Now take a wedge and align it with the main scale as shown above.
- Now take a cylinder and make the dimensions as shown in the image's.
- Once done, place the cylinder in the main scale and make a hole in it.
Making the Measuring Jaw













- Now for the measuring jaw take a square and make its dimensions as shown in the images.
- Now take a wedge and make this as a hole body which will be used as a cutter.
- Now we will make cuts as shown in above images.
Making the Sliding Jaw









- In this step we will make the sliding jaw, for that we need wedge as shown in a images.
- Adjust the dimensions of wedge and make cuts in the jaw.
- Make a duplicate and do the same as we have done in the first jaw.
- Now for the slider take a square and follow image 7 & 8 .
- Now we need a base for our two sliders follow image 9 for dimension's.
Joining Everything



- Join the base and the sliders with each other.
- For the mobility we need a horizontal hook.
- Take a wedge and a rectangle join them to make a trapezoidal prism and place below the slider for the mobility as shown in above images.
Done !!!



- Now join the sliding jaw with the main scale and we are done.
CONGRATS !!!!! We have made it !!!!
I hope you all enjoyed :D
THANKS FOR WATCHING.
