For mounting a dial indicator to the extruder head for precision bed leveling.
How to use it:
Step 1: Home the axis
Step 2: Turn off the printer. You don't want to move the extruder with the controls, the dial will hit the tower before the extruder hits the limit switch.
Step 3: Manually move the extruder away from the tower so there's room for the dial.
Step 4: Remove the fan and insert the dial so that the tabs slide into the slots in the back of the heatsink. Be careful not to put force into the gantry, you do not want to bend that.
Step 5: Raise the bed by turning the screw nearest to the extruder, this should be the front left screw, until the dial stops turning (or slows down significantly). This is the point where the extruder makes contact with the bed. Zero the dial here.
Step 6: Lower the bed until the dial is at 4 thou or 0.1mm. Manually move the extruder and lift the contact stick thing between stops, this keeps it from jiggling around and possibly push
