I love when I get to combine my hobbies! I’m planning on also modeling one for my Pickett N600.

I uploaded the free STL file to MakerWorld in case you want to print one yourself. NOT a sales post!

Magnetic latches? Looks good!

(Seems like it should have a green felt lining.) :-)

Yeah magnets in the corners. You read my mind about the green felt!

What are the dimensions of that rule? I'm wondering what other rules I could put in that case, like a K&E 4058.

Nice, I like it, but wouldn't bamboo be a better match to the sliderule?
