IBLS Wheel Gauge 7.x indicating use of Tire Width Gauge.
Printing
IBLS Secretary Daris A Nevil prints the gauge as follows:
- Using a low-cost 3D PLA filament printer "IIP 3D Printer"
- Added glass bed for smooth back
- Treat glass with magigoo before each print
- Adjust printer settings to print slightly slower and improve first layer
