Dial Indicator Mount

prusaprinters

<p>This thing fits on both the Ender 3 and the CR-10. It might fit on other printers as well but I haven't had the machines to try it.</p> <p>I built the Z-Axis End Stop Adjustment, thing # 4148067, to move the Z axis limit switch up and down in small increments on my Ender 3 and it works great. With it bed leveling becomes a breeze. But I still needed a way to determine the exact z axis switch position to measure just how far I was moving it with each turn of the adjusting wheel, so I dreamed up this thing.</p> <p>The Dial Gauge Hangar should be printed with support 'touching buildplate' and a brim is a good idea. The four large holes are tapped M4 x 10mm but I've found two on top to be adequate. The three small holes are tapped M3 x 8mm It's best to chase small printed threads like these with taps.</p> <p>The Height Gauge Mount should be printed with a wide brim to keep it from curling up but no support is needed. The gauge stem clamp needs one M3 x 10 and a nut.</p> <p>Here's a link to the Z-Axis End Stop Adjustment: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4148067">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4148067</a></p> <p>2020_03_30:</p> <p>-Replaced Height_Gauge_Mount_06B with Height_Gauge_Mount_07 which has a tighter bore to fit a little tighter.</p> <p>Note: I've since used this on my Ender 3 to identify a previously unknown software glitch; long story.</p> <p>-Decided it wasn't tight enough yet so I uploaded Height_Gauge_Mount_08 which is an even tighter fit.</p> <p>2020_04_20:</p> <p>-Uploaded Height_Gauge_Target_02T so folks won't have to use a stack of blocks to have the gauge register. The base is threaded M4 at three points to keep it from wobbling. No support needed but use a brim. Ironing the top would be a good idea too.</p> Category: 3D Printer Accessories
