Dial Indicator Mount for Ender 3 V2 with 3d Fused X-axis linear rail mod

thingiverse

I don't want the BLTouch to compensate for my bed being unlevel. I want the bed to be level so I don't have to compensate. These Z-stepped Ender 3 printers like working on intervals of 0.04mm on the Z, so no slanty-prints. This is a holder for a dial indicator. It is for Ender 3 printers with the upgraded X-axis with the aluminum backplate, which mounts on the two M3 screw holes on the left side. I have a cut-out to fit the Fang cooler around. The dial indicator is specifically the digital one by Clockwise Tools from Amazon which is about 57.24mm Dia. and about 13.4mm to the height of the lip where the clips reach. The cylinders on the frame are for position without wiggling. The clips are for retention. The spacing between the clips at the top and the bottom are 3/8 in. for the bottom and 5/16 in. for the top. I DO NOT RECOMMEND AUTO-HOMING WHILE THE DIAL INDICATOR IS IN THE HOLDER. It could ram the indicator tip against the side of the bed or into a print if forgotten about. The holder should clear everything though. The holder will not destroy the limit switch - it clears the switch, hence the rectangular recess on the back. File to print: **Dial Mount V1.stl** Print settings are exactly designed for 0.2mm layers, I do not know that the clips will engage if you try some other height. The model is designed to be printed at 0.2mm You will have to arrange the print to be on its back, since I designed it in Fusion 360 with Y-up axis. Hardware: * Two M3 pan-head stainless steel screws. I don't know if socket-cap will work, but it probably would.
