Dial Indicator Mount for 2020 Extrusion

thingiverse

A dial indicator is a must-have tool for leveling the bed on any printer, and it's affordable - you can get one from AliExpress for under $7. I wanted to install one on my Ender 2, but the mounts available on Thinkiverse were either hard to print or didn't fit the plastic trim on my machine. That's why I designed a mount that snaps onto the 2020 beam and slides easily side to side. To make it even more secure, I added hooks for rubber bands, though they're not really necessary. To make printing easier, I included small rafts that can be easily removed after printing. The date is 5/5/18. You'll find STEP and IGS files attached so you can modify the part without converting the STL file - a tedious task indeed.
