Dial Indicator Mount

This thing fits on both the Ender 3 and the CR-10. It might fit on other printers as well but I haven't had the machines to try it.

I built the Z-Axis End Stop Adjustment, thing # 4148067, to move the Z axis limit switch up and down in small increments on my Ender 3 and it works great. With it bed leveling becomes a breeze. But I still needed a way to determine the exact z axis switch position to measure just how far I was moving it with each turn of the adjusting wheel, so I dreamed up this thing.

The Dial Gauge Hangar should be printed with support 'touching buildplate' and a brim is a good idea. The four large holes are tapped M4 x 10mm but I've found two on top to be adequate. The three small holes are tapped M3 x 8mm It's best to chase small printed threads like these with taps.

The Height Gauge Mount should be printed with a wide brim to keep it from curling up but no support is needed. The gauge stem clamp needs one M3 x 10 and a nut.

-Replaced Height_Gauge_Mount_06B with Height_Gauge_Mount_07 which has a tighter bore to fit a little tighter.

Note: I've since used this on my Ender 3 to identify a previously unknown software glitch; long story.

-Decided it wasn't tight enough yet so I uploaded Height_Gauge_Mount_08 which is an even tighter fit.

-Uploaded Height_Gauge_Target_02T so folks won't have to use a stack of blocks to have the gauge register. The base is threaded M4 at three points to keep it from wobbling. No support needed but use a brim. Ironing the top would be a good idea too.
