hey STEMlords, /ic/ peasant here. I want to make a set of calipers out of a couple popsicle sticks such that whatever one side measures, the other side measures 1.168x that, i.e. a golden ratio caliper. So where should I put my fulcrum? Let's assume a standard length of 112.7mm for the popsicle sticks, but I assume the fulcrum's position would just be a function of the variable length. And yes I know I could just buy a pair of golden means calipers but I think it would be fun to make a set and it's a hobby of mine to spend as little money as possible ;)
