Printable A4 measuring mat
Print a mat with a grid and scale, place the part on it and take a photo. Filamo tries to use the grid in the photo as the scale for the part's dimensions – if it can't read it, it asks you for one measured dimension.
How to use it
- Print on A4 at actual size (100 %) – not “Fit to page”.
- Check with a ruler that the control line is exactly 100 mm.
- Lay the mat on a flat surface (it must not be wavy) and put the part in the middle of the grid.
- Take the photo straight from above so all four corner marks are visible; add a side photo if needed.
- Upload the photos to Filamo in the “Photo of a real part” mode.
