Update 03.02.2022:
- I prepared more loosen parts and atached them in zip folder (use it only when you have the problem with not smooth movement in your caliper, from this folder you can use for example only 'sleeve' or wheels or all the parts),
- I added a new fotos :)

Update 30.07.2022:
- I added new versions of calipers: MINI and LONG
- I improved the quality of the parts: sleeve, wheel 1 and 2 (more rigid), pointer and linear sprocket,
- I uploaded new video of measurement examples: https://youtu.be/67zloBT8CIw
