This paper presents the concept of an ultra-stable, thermally independent precision voltage divider tailored for direct current (DC) voltages up to 60 kV. Key features of this voltage divider include minimal voltage dependence, excellent stability, and resistance to external temperature variations. The innovative approach involves its fabrication using 3D printing technology, allowing easy replication by project partners. This precision voltage divider leverages commercially available precision resistors, drawing upon successful outcomes from the FutureEnergy 19ENG02 and HVDC ENG07 Projects. In these experiments, which involve ion acceleration and laser probing of electronic transitions, voltage dividers are integrated into setups such as COALA (TU Darmstadt), BECOLA (Michigan State University), COLLAPS (CERN/ISOLDE), and ATLANTIS (Argonne National Laboratory). Monitoring the applied acceleration potential, these dividers allow one to consider and counteract long-term drifts and thereby improving measurement accuracy.
