Snap On Dial Indicator holder for 2020 v-slot with 12 mm linear rail

thingiverse

This is a little dial indicator holder, designed to snap an indicator, with an <strong>8 mm stem mount</strong>, on the x axis of any 3d printer with a <strong>2020 aluminum v-slot extrusion</strong> and a <strong>12 mm</strong> linear rail. You can quickly snap the holder, along with the indicator, home the printer, adjust the gap as always, with a piece of paper, zero the indicator or just take note of the measurement it shows. Then just slide the indicator to the right end and/or move the bed to the front and adjust the other three corners, this time replicating the first measurement instead of utilizing the paper. Once the corners are level with each other, and you have taken note of the ideal measurement, the next time you change your print surface or, for whatever reason, the height of it had changed, you only have to snap the dial indicator and adjust the z-height until the measurement matches the one you have noted down.
