Qidi Dial Indicator Carriage

thingiverse

***edit*** Changed design of the clamp of the Dial Gauge. Now the guidance is longer and it is recommended to add a welding nut alongside to a screw. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my first Thingi Ding. Looking for a Dial Indicator Holder for my Qidi X-Plus, i was not fully satisfied with the current uploads. So i created my own design, inspired by the humebeam carriage but redrawn from the scratch though. Just stick a Dial Indicator inside an put it on the Linear Guides one can simply move it by hand all over the printing bed, even if you put it at the other side of the Extruder. It´s own weight is enough to keep the measurement stable. Material is not important (OK, maybe not TPU), PLA, ABS, ASA should be fine. You can print it upside down or normal, i suggest supports in both situations, support angle from 50 degrees. Should be also suitable for X-MAX and i-Mate Series, but not confirmed yet. Since i upload the Fusion360 file together with the STL, feel free to edit the Model to your own demands
