Mendel Platform Level Tool

thingiverse

This instrument involves printing 'Level_Bracket.stl' and mounting it onto a Mendel's X carriage. A 100mm smooth rod, ideally with an 8mm radius, is required for measuring; round one end for reduced friction. Use a laser cutter/etcher to etch precise lines from 'Level_Units.eps' on the rod as your measuring units, with separations in millimeters. This simple and cheap alternative to a height gauge has limited resolution but might be effective.
