This was created with the Anycubic Mega-S dimensions but will work on any 3D printer with similar specs.
Designed to replace the back of the Navigator 1″ Dial Indicator sold on Amazon. It normally runs around $15 for the dial.
For setup, start with a level bed, clip the dial onto the horizontal bars of the printer moving the bed so that you know it is point to a level spot. Loosen the screw on the top right to move the dial so that the arrow is pointed to zero, then tighten.
Now that your gauge is set up, you can attach to the bars, move your bed so that the gauge touches on the key points and adjust the bed so that the gauge reads zero at each point. You will need to unclip ad reclip the gauge as needed to get around the print head. Remove before printing.
