Dial Indicator Jig - FlashForge Creator Pro and Makerbot Rep2

thingiverse

I designed an indicator jig that utilizes magnets to securely hold the Harbor Freight Dial Indicator in place. This positioning holds the indicator far enough above the table, preventing the spring from interfering with readings. The magnets used are high-quality true value -10 Piece Neodymium Super Magnets from MASTER MAGNETICS (Model # 07045, Item # 587715). For optimal results, it's recommended to insert two magnets while the part is still hot and the third after cooling down by carefully enlarging the hole with a flat screwdriver. A quarter or wrench can be used to achieve a secure press fit. To ensure smooth operation, clean up any burrs inside the area that comes into contact with the rails. The jig should slide freely when held downward by the magnets. Additionally, the box for the dial indicator can be modified to accommodate this design.
