Minimalist Dial Indicator Holder for MendelMax 2 MM2

cults3d

This thing is not really needed. I found later the tab on the back of the indicator can be rotated, and mount the tab to the edge of the carriage. This is a minimalist indicator holder for MendelMax 2. It assumes the dial indicator has a 9.5mm fixed shank below the dial. It can be easily drilled to 10mm without compromising the structure, maybe more. It mounts to the X carriage the same way the MaxStruder mounts, so it should not interfere with any kind of fan mounts that are compatible with the MaxStruder. The indicator can be rotated for reading from any side. This holder doesn't require any additional hardware beyond the dial indicator and the screws already used to mount the extruder. The mounting holes are 80mm apart. I plan to make a change so it has 50mm spaced holes too, which is a more common RepRap extruder mount hole pattern.
