The first part of the design is importing lots of rectangles, as they make up the whole design. Then I made one large rectangle; this will be the back of the holder.

Next, I created two smaller rectangles. One of these will be the arm, and the other one will be a hook for the end of the arm to prevent the caliper from falling off. I made sure that they were the size of the 3mm wood. Finally, I added two holes on the back so that I would be able to insert the arms into the base.

Step3: Material

The material that I used was basswood because it glues so easily, but other materials like acrylic would work just as well. Just make sure to use the appropriate glue.

Step4: laser Time

Now it's time to cut. This was a small piece, so I used a mostly used piece of basswood. Just make sure to wear your laser safety glasses and change the settings if you don't have an S1 40-watt or if you are using a different material.

Now it's time to glue. Both of the hooks fell through my honeycomb plate, so I had to find them. Then I rested my caliper holder on a small pair of cutters to let it dry.

Now you're done with your caliper holder. Good job.
