So I liked the idea of the indicator for the Z axis so that you can tell if your two drives are in sync. This was from thing https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2684692.
I didn't notice until I had printed the set that the design required the disassembly of the machine to slip the indicators over the threaded rods. This was not something I was wanting to do so I first tried cutting about a third of the back away from the parts so I could snap them on the drives.
Well this worked, they were loose on the rods and I just wasn't happy. So I made my own.
Printed these in PLA and they are SNUG and sort of hard to snap onto the shafts, but that is exactly what I intended.
Anyway, very small and very short print time, so if you don't like them for whatever reason, throw em out, not out much.
