Been posted 2-3 times, but here it is again: <https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4505585> > Most of these tools were written by re-inventers of wheels > and didn't know what they didn't know yet when they started.

So I get pretty close, then adjust the printers scale. That I can adjust per axis. But that, damnit, is only good for that part. Some of the things on thingiverse (perhaps 1%) have commercial possibility's, and they are not about to publish something without mods to make it a lot poorer than what they are making and selling. And I've been to that rodeo myself a few times but got over that when the idea was stolen anyway, then offered as an optional safety feature for a surgical tool, but at 100x the cost to make it. That was 50+ years ago. The legal field has changed dramtically in the operating room since then. I wouldn't touch that doorknob with a 50 foot glass pole today. I can't buy a malpractice policy that big. Best to leave that sort of thing to the insurance folks, they're doing a quite decent job of weeding out the incompetent scalpel users who don't understand the tools they use. Thanks Bari.
