Let me know if you print one and if it accomplishes anything useful or just muddies the waters. If nothing else, it kept me out of the bars and pool halls for a while.

That's pretty clever! I have not printed it yet, but like the lever-based "amplification". 👍
Oh, and I like your new avatar picture! 😎
RE: Tool for comparing lead screw pitch
I will try this tomorrow as I have a dodgy pitch on one of my lead screws. Only problem is I have no idea how this works…any chance of a video (an idiots guide 😂)

It's pretty easy. Hold against screw so tilted wedges engage threads. Compare pointer position between different screws. If the screws are seriously different, it might not have enough range, but that's what you're trying to determine!
