Dial Indicator Mount for Grizzly G9849 on Anet A8

thingiverse

This adapter temporarily attaches a Grizzly G9849 dial gauge to the X-axis rods of an Anet A8, facilitating print bed leveling. After leveling one side, slide the extruder and attach it to the other side for continued leveling. This approach should work with any dial gauge having the exact same dimensions as the G9849. Some cheaper dial gauges appear similar but I have not verified their dimensions. A bolt can be inserted through the mounting hole in the back of the dial gauge to secure the adapter. Before use, a cross-hatch of 1mm-high support walls must be cut away. Note: The adapter is deliberately asymmetrical to allow for two different attachment methods, making the dial gauge sit higher or lower on the rails. When using with the Z-axis set at zero, it's likely that the dial gauge should sit on the high side due to its height.
