Similar to: https://www.sailboats.co.uk/loos-pro-rig-tension-gauge-2-5-4mm-wire?gclid=CjwKCAiAksvTBRBFEiwADSBZfOLH0g49Pks_jfccu58NEsdsAXBLCSvrzcVAJQ4Yc1gtD1vhxxnNDxoCktAQAvD_BwE but without 150 pound price tag!
M3 Bolts and nuts hold it together. Used a stainless steel spring with free length 25mm, OD 19 mm, wire diameter 1.3 and about 5mm pitch. Cheap enough to find online or hardware store. Even comes with a number gauge!
Printed at 100% to get it nice and solid.
Recommend calibrating with a loose gauge before trusting it. Afterwards it is very repeatable!
