Bed leveling mount for MSC Drop Indicator on Makergear M2

thingiverse

A DIY mount designed specifically for the Makergear M2 is being created to accommodate a drop indicator for effortless bed leveling. Instructions for assembly are straightforward - merely turn fans upwards, and secure the rear knurled screw on the hot end by hand; no tools are necessary, making the process both swift and effortless. The drop indicator in question can be sourced from mscdirect.com via ITEM #91942961, with a modest price tag of 19 dollars. A minor alteration to existing hardware is required: cutting the heads off of a 6-32 screw and a 1/4-20 screw, both of which will self-tap through the pre-drilled holes in the printed components. Should this fail, drill an extra few thousandths of an inch into the area for a better fit. Target a diameter of .125 to ensure proper grip when self-threading - remember, the outside thread dimension of a standard 6-32 screw is .135, hence the slight precision required. To prevent any damage, it's essential that screws tap cleanly and in a straight line; using a bit closer to their original size may help facilitate smooth threading. Lastly, apply a few drops of super glue on the final threads for an added seal and a bit more stability. Should you succeed, upload pictures of your handiwork for others to appreciate.
