Cable Diameter Gauge (Measuring), Contact

Past contact methods once used feeler gauges that would contact the cable product to measure the size, with those readings used to manually control the extruder settings. Newer methods include the use of two synthetic sapphires at a low contact pressure, with the readings used to automatically make adjustments to the cable size by adjusting the cable or extruder speed.
