Cura 4.3.0 Measuring Tool Extension

[scott_dodd 0]

I am trying to see if there are any tool extensions for Cura 4.3.0 that allow you to measure certain points of your project in case you need to diagnose a problem with the project relating to its thickness or length, etc. This way you can check it too see if it's a Cura setting or you need  to go back to the drawing board. Not a extremely important extension, just a quick tool to point you in the right direction. I haven't seen any and just thought of this.  Don't really know if or how useful it may be.  Thanks in advance for any help....  I only have 6 months experience with 3D printing and designing.

If you click on a part you can see the bounding box in X,y, and Z.  That's usually good enough for me to check that the dimensions are about right (or even exactly right).

I second scott's request.  depending on what you are printed the bounding box is not enough.

This would be a great tool, gr5 I agree that is a good way to measure, especially if its a square/box but i would like to measure holes inside the project, and there's no easy way to do that.

 

BUT! i have found a temp solution, you can create square box by pressing E (where you choose if you want it to be "print as model or print as support") it creates it 10mm x 10mm x 10mm but you can resize it to what you want the hole to be, and then move it in the hole to measure it.
