Laser Cut DIY Wooden 3D Puzzle Model Vernier Caliper Project
Product Details
Summary
In this project, we created a Vernier Caliper from 3mm MDF using a CO2 laser cutting machine. This wooden caliper is a lightweight, eco-friendly, and cost-effective tool designed mainly for educational purposes, workshops, and daily light-duty measurements. It is ideal for students, makers, and laser cutting enthusiasts who want to understand the working principle of a vernier caliper simply and practically.
Laser Cutting Specifications: The Vernier Caliper was precisely cut on a 100W CO2 laser machine. For clean edges and accurate markings, the following settings were used:
- Material: MDF
- Thickness: 3mm
- Laser Power: 40% Cutting
- Speed: 20 mm/s
These settings ensure smooth cuts, clear scale markings, and minimal burn marks, making the final product neat and readable.
Laser Cut Files Formats: We Provide verifed CDR, SVG, and LBRN (LightBurn) file formats. You can use any file for your laser cutting projects
Assembly Process: The assembly of the MDF Vernier Caliper is simple and does not require complex tools. All parts are laser-cut accurately so they fit together perfectly.
- Start by separating all cut pieces carefully.
- Attach the sliding jaw to the main scale using the provided groove.
- Ensure the slider moves smoothly along the main scale without friction.
- Fix the vernier scale strip onto the slider part.
- Use a small amount of glue if required, but the design works well as a friction-fit model.
A step-by-step cutting and assembly video link is provided on our YouTube channel for clear visual guidance.
Daily Use and Applications: This MDF Vernier Caliper can be used for basic daily measurements, such as checking the thickness of wood, acrylic, cardboard, or small DIY parts. It is perfect for learning measurement techniques, classroom demonstrations, and laser-cut project showcases.
