Travel Guage Holder for Monoprice Maker Select V2

thingiverse

I have a Travel Indicator, and wanted to create a holder that was solid enough to attach to my Maker Select without having to mess with the giant screw hole in the back. It seemed more logical to create a design that was one unit with the plate and holder attached. So, I took the "Back Plate for Dial Indicator" design by muddtt (Thing #167459) and combined it with "Wanhao Dial Gauge Holder" by 1bigpig (Thing #1445744). I made this from PLA which doesn't have much flexibility, therefore I had to make a few modifications to the holder design so it doesn't crack when snapping it on and off the bars. After several attempts, this is the result. I have been using it for about a month without any issues. I believe the original back plate was sized to fit a digital travel gauge from harbor freight, which is a bit larger in the back than my Teclock gauge, but the screw holes matched up perfectly. I just took a couple minutes and filed down the plate rather than try to resize it. Made from PLA on a Monoprice Maker Select V2 Infill at 50% With support This thing was made with Tinkercad.
