Peopoly Moai Dial Gauge Bracket

thingiverse

This gauge bracket is specifically designed to be used after you have completed the initial leveling process following the guide in the build manual. It's not intended for setting the initial level height of the vat, but rather for ensuring all sides of the vat are level once the initial vat height/level has been accomplished. Make sure you follow step 7 in the build instructions before using this bracket and gauge. This dial gauge bracket friction fits onto all sides of the build plate. The dial gauge can then be used to ensure the gap between the build plate and vat is level on all sides. The bracket has been designed around the digital dial indicator gauge available from Amazon and other sources. It's available under several brand names, such as Neoteck and Wiysond. Here's a link to the Neoteck version on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01H035DRO. To use the bracket, simply attach the dial gauge to it and secure it tight with an M6 bolt and nut. Then push the bracket onto the edge of the build plate at the required locations. Depending on how central your build plate is in relation to the vat, you may need to adjust the bracket in or out slightly to ensure the tip is central on the vat top edges. Note that you will need to adjust the Z Reset Position in the Advanced Menu to 60 for the gauge to measure correctly. Once the build plate has settled at this position, attach the bracket. When measurements and adjustments are complete, don't forget to set the Z Reset Position back to 188.
