That struggle is so real… Although, once you start to learn paremetric modeling, you stop having as much plastic waste around and a whole bunch of slightly different prototypes of a desk organizer or toilet roll holder that result from not measuring properly the first time.
I measure 3 times and still need to print at least 3 times to get something right.
I’m working on an outdoor hose grommet that’s a custom fit to my house. I measured with calipers. I also took paper, traced the fixture and marked the holes before modeling and 3d printing.
I have a desk full of badly fitting prototypes. -or just bad because I forgot to set a print setting in the slicer.

I need to print something to repair my garage door rail. I have no idea how to get started on measuring that.
That’s okay, though. I also need to fix my 3d printer before I can get started on the other project.
That’s easy, just get a second 3d printer to print parts to fix the 3d printer
