Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Metric tape is good to ~1mm +/- 0.5 in my experience.
I would trust it that far for flat, square pieces of metal; not for an irregular shape with a rounded tip, mounted to an irregular rounded surface. For this use I'd want a steel ruler at minimum.
wouldn't it be even better to measure the force the nose pushes with? it's easy to quantify and the apparatus could be a fixed mount on the head - hook it up to a raspberry pi which reads out a list of questions, records the answer and the nose output for further analysis!
There are certainly a number of accurate measurement techniques. I simply mentioned my personal minimum.
