Anet 8A Shars dial indicator adapter

thingiverse

I've seen something similar before but can't recall who created it. I decided to make my own version specifically for the ANET 8A, combining it with dial indicators I already had. Using two makes setup easier - adjusting both X and Y axis bars, as well as aligning the X bar with the build plate. A mark was made on the center of the plate, then the distance from nozzle to bed was adjusted using a filler gauge, and both gauges were calibrated at that point. Now I have a bed perfectly leveled.
