About this generator

A short ruler for the pencil case, a long one for the workbench, or one with a child's name on it.

How to use

  1. Pick the units and the length.
  2. Add a name.
  3. Download the 3MF for dark marks on a light ruler, or the STL and change filament where the marks start.

Printing tips

  • Print flat, marks up. No supports.
  • Check it against a steel rule. If it is off, scale it in the slicer along its length: 100.3 % if 100 mm measures 99.7.
  • Dark marks on a light ruler read best.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is it?

As accurate as your printer, usually within half a millimetre over 15 cm. Good for crafts and school, not for machining.

Can it be longer than my printer bed?

No. Rotate it diagonally on the bed for a few extra centimetres.
