Description
For quick and accurate Bed leveling.
An adaptor for the DTI to be mounted "AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO THE NOZZEL".
I used Neoteck DTI Digital Dial Indicator (From Ebay). The Rod Diameter is 8mm.
You will need to drill a hole of diameter = 10mm in the fan hood at the position shown in the corresponding Photo.
Glue a magnet on the top of the mount to have it stable during the bed leveling. I used these two strong magnets which can be extraced from a damaged HardDisc, but any other magnets would work.
The advantages of this design:
1- The DTI tip is very close to the nozzle
2- You don’t have to apply force on the mount and the fan hood to remove it after the Bed leveling which may cause missalingmnet of the z-axis
Although the design is very simple, it is very stable and efficient.
I also added a hole-cap to cover the hole after Bed leveling
The printing parameters can be seen in two photos
