A X-Acto knife A digital calliper

Digital caliper

In 3D printing, a digital calliper has numerous applications. It measures
components for replication in CAD software and is also useful for verifying the
accuracy of your prints. Additionally, callipers are useful for verifying filament

dimensions, given that filaments are seldom produced to precise specifications.

Tweezers
When printing, it is advantageous to have tweezers on hand. For instance, they
are particularly useful for plucking oozing filament from the extruder nozzle

before it starts printing. Furthermore, they might be helpful for post-print
cleanup. It is recommended to invest in a pair of tweezers in a variety of sizes and
forms.
