Wanhao D6 Dial Indicator Mount

thingiverse

Using a dial indicator is the best way to ensure your bed aligns perfectly with the print head motion plane. I opted for a budget-friendly (Harbor Freight) indicator, which works just fine for manually adjusting the print head using the Machine Panel in Simplify 3D. CAUTION: When mounting the indicator, be mindful of potential damage - if you move it too far, it could collide with the machine's sides. To secure the indicator in place, I used an M8 screw, but this can be easily adjusted to fit other available hardware. For added stability, consider adding washers to the ends and using whatever smaller parts you have on hand.
