Maker Select V2 Dial Indicator Mount

thingiverse

This is my first time here, so bear with me...\r\n\r\nI really liked the ReMixed Wanhao Stepper Mounted Dial Indicator Mount by CallJoe but its position on the side was not to my liking. I had already replaced my front-mount cooling fan with a new blower and the Cii cooler shroud, which left the front of my carriage clear (making it easier to see too). I used the stepper motor stl to get the hole spacing and mounting portion for the dial indicator and modified it to attach to the old fan mount with two 3mm screws and nuts.\r\n\r\nYou can use a 1/4" bolt to hold the indicator in place while you take measurements around the bed and make adjustments (I began using a 1/4-20 machine screw and wing nut) but the fit on the indicator lug is tight enough that it will press into place and hold well enough to make your adjustments, then pull it off of the bracket (leaving the bracket in place) when you are ready to print. At the very least, the dial fits tightly and indexes against the face of the bracket such that just sliding the machine screw through the holes will hold the indicator securely without needing a nut or wingnut.
