Magnetic Dial Indicator Mount for Anycubic Mega

thingiverse

[2022-10-05 Update] I published an [integrated version](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5549100) as a separate thing. ================= [Av8er](https://www.thingiverse.com/Av8er)'s [Dial Indicator Mount](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3015709) unfortunately interferes with the X-axis motor housing of my Anycubic Mega Pro when left installed, and it would be impractical to disassemble/reassemble the hotend housing every time I want to measure the heatbed level, so I designed an adapter with which I can use his mount securely, but easily attach and remove it utilizing magnets. With this design, you simply insert the shaft of the dial indicator into the mount, then attach it to the hotend housing using the heads of the hex cap bolts as datum. I went ahead modified the mount itself to fit my own digital indicator a little better as well. My instrument measures ∅57mm x 25mm (d) with an 8mm shaft. Materials needed: - Magnets ∅10mm x 2.5mm(d) x 4 - M3-4 bolts x 2 (M3-8 if using Av8er's mounts) - M3 nuts x 2 - Glue (for magnets) - Dial Indicator
