Current version
Update on spoke tension meter: I updated all the files yesterday after reprinting with PETG filament. There was a couple of small issues with the first version uploaded to
Thingiverse, corrected now. On my Robo 3D R2 printer I have to instruct the slicer to adjust edges by -0.10 mm in order to get holes the correct size. Depending on your slicer settings you may need a similar size adjustment. The actual 3D model source file is correct to size. Current version is Version 5.
Here is a parts list:
- 2 - M4 x 20 mm socket head cap screws
- 1 - M4 x 12 mm socket head cap screw
- 3 - M4 nylon insert lock nut
- 1 - M3 x 12 mm socket head cap screw
- 1 - M3 nylon insert lock nut
- 1 - M2 x 10 mm socket head cap screw
- 1 - M2 nut (must not be a locking nut)
- 1 - 0.041" x 0.312" x 1.25" compression spring
- 1 - 12.7 mm (1/2") dial indicator ( I prefer digital for easier reading)
- 1 - 624zz precision bearing
- 1 - M4 nylon washer (sits between the two handle parts)
That's it. It is simple and it works.
