Dial Indicator Magnetic Lathe Mount
thingiverse
This is used to mount a standard dial indicator gauge to the bed of a lathe to precisely track the movement of the carriage. It has a guide to make certain that it sits correctly and is accurate. It is advised to use at least 70% fill as the prototype I printed had a 20% fill and it split due to the strength of the magnets. You will need: Two 15mm x 3mm neodymium magnets, these are easy and cheap to get from eBay. One M6 x 30mm bolt. Some strong glue to fix the magnets in place, this can also be done by using some gaffer tape on the bottom to cover the magnets..
