Shapeoko Dial Indicator Bracket

thingiverse

I normally print with ABS, but this piece was done in PLA. I secured it to my Dewalt router using zip ties directly onto the body of the tool. To prevent damage, I placed a thin sheet of rubber between the part and the router for added stability. The hole I printed has a threaded insert that accepts a 1/4-20 drill bit, which I tapped in place. I used a plastic screw with a 1/4-20 thread to attach it, allowing for semi-automatic breakaway if it were driven too far into something.
