Dial Gauge Mounts for 3 Axis Calibration (X, Y, and Z)

thingiverse

These mounts allow step calibration for all 3 axes of your printer, providing a firm and secure mount for a dial gauge. These should work with any printer that uses 20mm V-slot or T-slot rail for the XZ axis mount, and any V-slot or T-slot rail for the Y axis mount. It is designed for a gauge with an approximate 57.7mm diameter body and 9.6mm diameter shaft sleeve, but it should work for slightly smaller gauge bodies. The top-end clip provides secure support for the gauge, but does not require an exact fit. I am using the Clockwise Tools DIGR-0105 gauge, as shown in the pictures. The mounting holes are designed for M3x10 or M3x8 screws and T-nuts to hold the mounts securely in place. I used one of the printable M3 T-nut designs available on the site. The XZ mount should simply clip to the crossbar with no screws, but holes are provided if necessary. The Y mount will require screws and T-nuts.
