Dial gauge holder for Ender 3 (v2)

thingiverse

Dial Gauge Holder for Ender 3 (v2 - added back support and no knob needed) This is a simple holder for a dial gauge (mechanical comparator) to install directly on the Ender 3 fan cover using its screws. No modification needed. **Please Post Your Make** ***Important*** This project is intended only for zeroing the bed: do not use it while the printer is in action!!! In this case, please use the "shaft holder" to raise and block the shaft otherwise it will impact with the bed after printing the guide lines on the left. The dial gauge is the most common one on Amazon. This one has the dial block knob and a back cover with a circular hook. I supply the blank back cover. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Print all parts with 0.2 resolution, 50% infill, and 3 walls. I used PLA, but PETG is best. Gauge Holder: * Print in the STL orientation: it's the best way. * Print with supports only for the parts that touch the bed (there are only one, very simple to remove with proper settings). * Remove the elephant's foot from the parts in contact with the bed, otherwise you won't be able to insert the holder on the fan mount. Shaft Holder: * No supports needed. Gauge Back Cover: * No supports required. I added two pictures where you can see my last modification: three LEDs at the hotend left. Please post a make if you can. Thanks and have fun.
