FT-5 Mechanical Bed Leveling : Dial Gauge Bracket

thingiverse

Make sure to print the bracket with supports. Attach the gauge to the bracket using a screw and nut located on the back, followed by securing it in place with a zip tie at the shaft end as shown. You'll need two long M3 screws that span from behind the fan to the front; install these screws next. Then, secure the bracket onto the screws using thumb screws or nuts, which will hold everything firmly in place. Because the tip doesn't reach the bed when it's mounted, you'll have to print and attach a tip extender to the bottom of the gauge; use a zip tie to fasten it to the shaft. Once it's secure, move the extruder to all four corners and make fine adjustments on the thumb screws that hold the bed plate to the platform. Adjust the Z by manually turning the left threaded rod so both ends are even. This bracket is designed specifically for use with this analogue dial: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016R3GLB0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 If you encounter any issues with the design or need to make adjustments, please notify me immediately.
