Freestanding / XChange dial gauge mount

prusaprinters

<p>A double mounting system for a dial gauge for 3D printer calibration. The brand of the dial gauge is unknown but the mounting surfaces are 13.8mm external diameter.</p> <p>One mount is meant to slide onto a 12mm rod, and the other is designed to screw onto an XChange toolplate.</p> <p>Parts required:</p> <p>Gauge clip x 2</p> <p>Arm x 1</p> <p>XChange mount x 2</p> <p>12mm rod mount x 1</p> <p>Knob x 1</p> <p>Required hardware:</p> <p>M4 x 35mm x 2 - Gauge clips to arm</p> <p>M4 x 15mm x 2 - Arm to 12mm rod mount</p> <p>M5 x 20mm x 1 (hex head) - retainer for 12mm rod mount, clamping against rod</p> <p>M3 x 8mm x 4 - XChange mount to XChange tool plate</p> <p>Assembly should be snug with zero wiggle. The printed parts are likely very tight by design. I filed the mounts slightly until the dial gauge would clip in securely.</p> <p>Companion video: <a href="https://youtu.be/2v7EGDp55n4">https://youtu.be/2v7EGDp55n4</a></p> <p>Companion website: <a href="https://teachingtechyt.github.io/calibration.html#xyzsteps">https://teachingtechyt.github.io/calibration.html#xyzsteps</a></p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong></p> <p>Prusa Mini</p> <p class="detail-setting rafts"><strong>Rafts: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Supports:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting resolution"><strong>Resolution: </strong> <div><p>150</p></div> <p><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>30</p> <p><strong>Filament:</strong></p> X3D recycled PLA <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>All parts already rotated to correction printing orientation.</p></div> </p></p> Category: Hand Tools
