Indicator mount for MINI
I have the pictured indicator and was wanting to use it to check bed flatness. Before modeling one up I just wondered if anyone knows of a printable holder for this or any other indicator for the mini head. I appreciate any direction. I have looked for some time but couldn't find one.

You could remove the heating block including the heatbreak, attach a holder with the same diameter as the heatbreak to the dial gauge and then mount this instead of the heating block. This is how I solved it on my Mini. On the MK3, I drilled out a used heatsink to 8mm and mounted my dial gauge there.
This ensures a stable fit.
Statt zu klagen, dass wir nicht alles haben, was wir wollen, sollten wir lieber dankbar sein, dass wir nicht alles bekommen, was wir verdienen.
