Creality CR-10 Dial Indicator Mount for Bed Level/Tramming

This is a Dial Indicator Mount for the Creality CR-10 (click here: https://goo.gl/FthFpE) that uses economical dial indicators such as this one https://www.amazon.com/Triton-Indicator-0-001-Graduation-Travel/dp/B016R3GLB0/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1498847936&sr=8-5&keywords=dial+indicator&linkCode=sl1&tag=diy3dtech-20&linkId=5cc081080d1f2430d267deee9ea0b833 for less than $15 bucks or a digital version such as this https://www.amazon.com/Triton-Indicator-0-001-Graduation-Travel/dp/B016R3GLB0/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1498847936&sr=8-5&keywords=dial+indicator&linkCode=sl1&tag=diy3dtech-20&linkId=5cc081080d1f2430d267deee9ea0b833 for only $25 bucks. Also you can use a metal 1/4-20 (~6mm) sized nut and bolt combo however I like using nylon nuts/bolts such as these https://www.amazon.com/Triton-Indicator-0-001-Graduation-Travel/dp/B016R3GLB0/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1498847936&sr=8-5&keywords=dial+indicator&linkCode=sl1&tag=diy3dtech-20&linkId=5cc081080d1f2430d267deee9ea0b833 just to lighten things a bit. I have designed two Gcode files to be used for running the dial across the Creality CR-10 bed and they can be found here: http://diy3dtech.com/creality-cr10-bed-alignment-gcode/

We also produced a video on the use of this mount and along with the associated gcode here https://youtu.be/LJI34siHOFo as well as we have a more detailed version how to level tramm you 3d printers bed here: https://youtu.be/LJI34siHOFo using a dial indicator.

Upadate 01: Have also added an STL for a smaller version which is shorter for use with dial indicators such as this one (https://www.amazon.com/Triton-Indicator-0-001-Graduation-Travel/dp/B016R3GLB0/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1498847936&sr=8-5&keywords=dial+indicator&linkCode=sl1&tag=diy3dtech-20&linkId=5cc081080d1f2430d267deee9ea0b833) that are shorter.

Update 02: Since making this I also decided to explore the idea of using a digial dial indicator connected to my computer via USB. While this project is still in process, we have made a couple related videos with the first being https://youtu.be/0CXfC6uYoQY the unboxing of the meter and cable then we figure out how to use in this video https://youtu.be/6hweiqlWb2s and you can check them out here: http://diy3dtech.com/usb-dial-indicator-kit/

Update 03. We have created a different version of this bed-leveling tramming device which can be found here that uses https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2524480 which uses a very low cost automotive caliper (see here: http://diy3dtech.com/digital-caliper-depth-gauge/ ) so you have multiple choices.
