Acme Thread Gage

A set of gages for measuring acme threads, often found on machine tools including 3D printers. Commercial gages exist but are a bit pricey. Files included here for 3D printing as well as laser-cutting.

**LASER-CUTTING**
* This is my go-to tool for making things like this; it's super fast and accurate 1/16" (1.5mm) acrylic will work great, but chipboard or even paper will work too in a pinch
* For a fancy touch, fill in the engraved numbers with some paint

**3D PRINTING**
* STL files include single thread pitches so you can just print the one you want
* Gages are 1/16" (1.6mm) thick, which isn't very robust but will make printing quick and measuring easier
* Note! If the gages look really small in your 3D printer program, it's probably because the files are in inches but STLs are in millimeters. Your slicer should be able to scale them for you (each one is 2" long)

**INKJET/LASER PRINTER**
* You can also just print out the letter-sized PDF file, trim with
