Topic: Digital dial indicator

Currently I'm using some feeler gauges to level my print bed, leveling at 0.06 inches.  Recently I've seen this and thought I'd like to give it a try.

What is a good inexpensive digital dial indicator and what value should the bed be leveled too?

Moved out of Filastruder, into Hacks and Mods.

Filastruder - the robust, inexpensive filament extruder

Re: Digital dial indicator

harbor freight. I got my analog needle one for about $10 after 25% discount code. I actually like the needle better than the digital for this application cause you're not necessarily reading numbers for this application. Just landing it on the same spot for all 3 spots so it's easy to see with the needle. Save some bucks also. But either way, harbor freight usually has good prices on this kinda stuff.
