Creality CR-10 Dial Indicator Mount for Bed Level/Tramming

thingiverse

This is a Dial Indicator Mount for the Creality CR-10 that utilizes affordable dial indicators such as this one http://amzn.to/2ttaAGr for under $15 or a digital version like this http://amzn.to/2ttaIWr for just $25. You can also use a metal 1/4-20 (~6mm) sized nut and bolt combo, but I prefer using nylon nuts/bolts such as these http://amzn.to/2saaeRh to make things lighter. I have created two Gcode files for running the dial across the Creality CR-10 bed that can be found here: http://diy3dtech.com/creality-cr10-bed-alignment-gcode/. We also produced a video on using this mount and the associated Gcode at https://youtu.be/LJI34siHOFo as well as a more detailed version of how to level your 3D printer's bed here: https://youtu.be/LJI34siHOFo using a dial indicator. **Update 01:** I have also added an STL for a smaller version that is shorter and can be used with dial indicators like this one (http://amzn.to/2uzu35t). **Update 02:** Since making this, I decided to explore the idea of using a digital dial indicator connected to my computer via USB. While this project is still in progress, we have made a couple related videos with the first being https://youtu.be/0CXfC6uYoQY, unboxing the meter and cable, then figuring out how to use it in this video: https://youtu.be/6hweiqlWb2s. You can check them out here: http://diy3dtech.com/usb-dial-indicator-kit/. **Update 03:** We have created a different version of this bed-leveling tramming device that uses https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2524480, which utilizes a very low-cost automotive caliper (see here: http://diy3dtech.com/digital-caliper-depth-gauge/).
