This is just a quick remix of a remix of the Bracket vernier calliper (Peg mount) (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2866877) by ArneBanane
I updated a 3rd version to add some more clearance for the head of the screw used to install it - it is now about 3.4mm deep which should allow a round head M4 hex screw to be used without it protruding and hitting the caliper.
I made one that attaches to peg board but I also wanted one to mount on the printer since I have a few of these and want one handy in a few places. It is a work in progress until I print it out. Just like the peg board version, there is a place to put a 8mm x 3mm cylindrical magnet in the back of it to help hold the calipers in place. I normally use Gorlilla Glue to do that but any good plastic glue would work. You can find the magnets at Amazon by searching for B0714KZP5C.
For a better finish, it is best to flip the part over when printing.
