Dial indicator holder for Eryone Thinker

A simple dial indicator holder I made in order to level my Eryone Thinker SE bed more easily. Very useful with the update to marlin 2.0, in which manual mesh bed leveling is introduced.

My design doesn't clip to the dial indicator on purpose, so that you don't need supports during printing. Just use a bit of tape to hold it in place, never had it fall down or anything even when using weak paper tape.

To use, disconnect the hot end assembly first, it is secured using two screws, then use the same screws to secure my holder in the same slot. Make sure to heat up your bed to your usual printing temp (60C for me) as it will slightly expand and produce measuring inaccuracies otherwise. After mesh bed leveling is performed print a bed leveling test to tune your z offset.

Of course this accessory can be used to do simple 4-corners bed leveling only, and will produce great results either way

!IMPORTANT!

This design is based on a 60mm diameter dial indicator. If you use a different size dial indicator please post a comment so I can see what I can do :)

Post your makes!

How I Designed This

I used Fusion 360 for modeling, added clearance for the two rollers screws popping up in the front and ensured that the dial indicator would sit low enough to be used higher or lower on the bed
