Dial Indicator Mount for Monoprice 13860 / Wanahao i3

thingiverse

This is a slide-on mount for a dial caliper to go over the extruder motor, it is used for leveling the print bed. It has a countersink for an M6 flathead screw from the inside of the fixture. The notches in the side allow for cable entrance to the motor for other motor orientations. The notches also give it a little flex for sliding the mount on and off the motor. Note, if you want to have more fun you can use it to check perpendicularity of the Z axis relative to the bed (use a machinist's square and probably a mirror to read the indicator display). It was designed for the Harbor Freight, item #93295, dial indicator. The original model was made with SolidWorks. A big shout out to oliasmage / Charles Bell - I got his books through Amazon and they were quite useful in the design of the part. Enjoy! Please let me know if you would like to have the file in a different format and I will do my best to post the desired format.
