Shaft Gauge - a free browser tool to measure STL files (mm)

I built a small, single-file web tool for quickly reading dimensions off an STL mesh, handy when you just need a measurement without opening full CAD (with claude AI).

Drag in an STL and you get:
- Diameter and length (auto shaft-axis detection) plus full bounding-box dimensions
- Point-to-point distance with vertex snapping
- 3-point circle fit to read a bore/round feature diameter (works on tilted planes)
- 2D cross-sections on the XY / XZ / YZ planes with a movable slider
- Volume, triangle count, light/dark theme

No install, no sign-up, and your file never leaves your device - everything runs locally in the browser (binary and ASCII STL). Open source (MIT).
