Description

I have a new project I'm working on, but I needed to have an idea of the angles involved. I couldn't find a protractor, so I made one. :)

The protractor has two sets of angle-finders, an inner and an outer ring. The marks on each ring are 10 degrees apart. The two rings are set 5 degrees from one another.

If you require a greater degree of measurement, you could always edit the OpenSCAD file to include finer gradations. For my purposes, this worked really well.

Thank you, this came in very handy while I was re-aiming my satellite TV dish.

I needed a protractor today and realized mine went missing from my tool board :(

Ahhh well... now I can have as many as I want... Muhahaha

That's a great protractor, to be sure. But, I needed something a little sturdier. :)

Great. Thanks. Now I don't have to keep track of the one I have. I'm always losing it. This time if I lose it, I'll just print another. Maybe you should try making a whole set (ruler, protractor, square, etc.)

I guess eventually if I just keep printing them off every time I lose one, I'll find a huge pile of them somewhere and not know what to do with them though.
