Tent Ruler

A clever A-frame tool that marks even dashes and keeps your pen from rolling off the desk.

Most rulers lie flat and slide around the second you look away. This one does not. Printed as a triangular A-frame, it stands upright on its own, tent-style, with a shallow channel running along the peak that cradles your pen or pencil so it never rolls off the desk again. Look along the bottom edge and you will spot a row of diamond shaped cutouts. Rest the ruler on your page, poke your pen tip through each diamond, and you get a perfectly straight line of evenly spaced dashes or dots, brilliant for stitching guides, quilting lines, tally marks or any drafting job that needs consistent spacing without a straightedge and a lot of squinting. Each one is 3D printed in PLA+ with a smooth raw finish, light enough to keep on a cluttered desk but sturdy enough to earn its place there permanently. The triangular profile also means it sits happily in a drawer without rolling about. Printed to order in a colour that suits your desk, from bold blue to deep oxblood red. A genuinely useful little object for makers, sewers, drafters and anyone who is tired of chasing a rolling pen across the table.
