Check out this set of Gauges that can be used to measure slot width, depth and the proudness (height from a surface) of parts. It is primarily intended for setting the bit heights of router blades on router tables. 1/16th of an inch resolution.

Eleven Sizes Included are: 1/8 (Inch) 3/16 1/4 5/16 3/8 7/16 1/2 9/16 5/8 11/16 3/4 (Inch)

YMMV on your own printer accuracy, but it should be close enough for most woodworkers.

I am currently working on a mm (Metric) version of this, please Like and Follow for updates if that's something you would be interested in.

I saw a product (Precision Router Table Setup Bars) that Kreg makes but it was exorbitantly priced and didn't include as many sizes as I wanted, so I made my own. The Joy of having a 3-D Printer, Eh?!

The pictures show only a partial set, as I haven't had reason to print them all yet. The final version has 11 Gauges and 11 slots in the rack.

I recommend printing the gauges in one color (I did Black), and then pausing the print and changing the color to a highly contrasting color (White in my case) once it starts printing the text. If you have a Bambu or other multicolor printer this is probably even easier to set up. For me it was just the last 6-8 layers but that depends on your slicer settings.

The stand holds the gauges at a slight forward rake, allowing you to easily hang the whole thing on the wall using the optional screw holes or double sided tape. The gauges will not fall out. There is also a 8mm hole in the gauges if you would prefer to hang them on a dowel or on a loop. If the stand is too tight, scale it by +1% (1.01) in the long axis and it should fix it.
