I measure 3 times and still need to print at least 3 times to get something right.
I’m working on an outdoor hose grommet that’s a custom fit to my house. I measured with calipers. I also took paper, traced the fixture and marked the holes before modeling and 3d printing.
I have a desk full of badly fitting prototypes. -or just bad because I forgot to set a print setting in the slicer.
I found my dad’s old calipers and the inside of the case had disintegrated. I wanted to print a new inside mold for the caliper case. But that meant taking measurements of the calipers. So I bought new calipers to measure the old calipers.

I need to print something to repair my garage door rail. I have no idea how to get started on measuring that.
That’s okay, though. I also need to fix my 3d printer before I can get started on the other project.
That’s easy, just get a second 3d printer to print parts to fix the 3d printer
I suspect more than a few of us are feeling called out with this comment.
Most likely it’s … All of us.

I’m prepared to be friends based on this anecdote.
