Measuring hover height

Overview

To more accurately assess hover height, I 3D printed this small tool.

Essentially it is a staircase with each step 0.5mm taller than the previous.

Each step is 0.5mm in height.

Each step is a 5mmx5mm square.

At every 1.0mm increment the step is labelled.

I used a digital caliper to measure the thickness of the steps and found it is relatively accurate within +/- 0.1 for each step.

Because the layer height is 0.2mm:

The whole number steps are very accurate
The intermediate steps such as 1.5mm, 2.5mm are slightly thicker than they should be.

I measured the steps with a digital caliper and had these results:
