Dial Indicator Mount for Mendelmax 3 / V-Slot Carriages

thingiverse

I've been relying on my digital calipers to level the bed on my Mendelmax 3, but it's a clumsy process and prone to inaccuracies. I created a mount for a dial indicator that enables me to level more reliably. It is attached to both sides of the v-slot rail and works exceptionally well. Ensure you print with a suitable infill. The mount attaches to the v-slot via friction, so you don't want any "squish" in the part. There's also a through-hole to attach the dial indicator to the mount, but I've found that the fit is close enough that this is not necessary. This could also work with any printer that utilizes the same v-slot for X-axis movement. Enjoy! Print Settings Printer: Mendelmax 3 Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 75%
