<![CDATA[SoliForum - 3D Printing Community — Solidoodle 4 carriage mount of a dial indicator?]]> 2015-01-10T23:49:11Z PunBB https://www.soliforum.com/topic/9080/solidoodle-4-carriage-mount-of-a-dial-indicator/ <![CDATA[Re: Solidoodle 4 carriage mount of a dial indicator?]]> I did make the one Claghorn suggested. But the mount for the dial calipers didn't really work well for me.

I found another which seemed tight on the rails. So I took that design idea, re-modled it using some magnets rather than force, and have been intending to print it, but I screwed up my BuildTak. (which is amazing with PLA and a cold bed)

So hoping to start it now. I'll post it to Thingiverse if it actually works well.

I've had really good success with the back and forth checking with a feeler gauge. I hope this will be better though

The carriage rocks too much to get accurate and reproducible readings. I never did get my bed level till I built my rail mount. I have a solidoodle 2, but if they didn't change the rail spacing, it might work on a solidoodle 4:

Or the basis one one that I can work from? i want to attach it by magnets if possible.

I suppose the other option is to mount it on the rails, which I've heard some people have success with.

Suggestions?

Thanks

Scott
