Description	A depth gauge for measuring the quantity of filament left on a spool

Notes

• There are versions for Bambu Lab and Sunlu spools specifically. I have only printed the Bambu Lab spool measurer.
• The recessed grip and curved edges at the top mean it is actually really comfortable for me to hold firmly in place, a nice design consideration.
• Has standard via ABS/ASA on opposing ends - I hadn’t expected there to be a difference.
• Much more robust (and more filament) than the [[Measurement for 1.75mm Filaments]] print I tried first.
• Scale is fine, definitely nice and clear in my office lighting, but would be nice to have the full numbers at each measurement point on it.
• I printed it on a textured build plate and this has made the ABS/ASA side look really rough in comparison to the other scale.
  • If I pick up a smooth sided build plate at some point I fully expect I will reprint this.
• I printed it in red and white (much like the images on the Maker World page), but my red filament is quite light, so if I reprint I’ll go for something darker for the main body to get even better contrast.
