Mini-Lathe adjustable carriage stop and indicator holder

thingiverse

Another spin on a 7X mini-lathe carriage stop design. The insert is used to switch between using it as a depth stop or indicator holder. A left-hand screw with 10 threads per inch and a graduated knob allow for precise adjustment of the stop. The indicator holder is designed to fit a 2-inch HF dial indicator. The knob is printed separately from the bearing, while the bearing and lock collar are printed in place and then twisted loose after printing. Printing at a layer height of .1mm resulted in no issues with rotating them loose. Printable versions of the fasteners were created, but due to concerns about the longevity of plastic threads, knurled caps for standard 3/8-16 UNC and 1/4-20 UNC bolts are also included.
