MakerFront Bed Level Tester - Prusa i3 - Digital Depth Gauge Adapter

thingiverse

A compact digital depth gauge adapter suitable for Makerfront and other Prusa I3 clones is now available. The height from the top X-axis bar to the bottom one measures 54mm on my machine, with 8mm rail dimensions. If your setup closely resembles this, you should be able to use it without issues. I acquired a digital depth gauge from Amazon for approximately $8 and removed its spring mechanism inside. You can see in the design how it attaches to the gauge using two small screws. To assemble it, simply remove the original back hole mount and replace it with this adapter. Unfortunately, I do not have an image of the printed and mounted device yet, but I will attempt to capture one later. The model was printed with ABS material while lying sideways.
