The paper test, while a useful thing, just isn't my cup of tea. I want numbers. Two models are listed here.
Do keep in mind that the Overlord Pro was sold with a Z resolution of 100 micron. Don't freak out when you can't get 100% repeat-ability. Dial indicators measure very small changes and that needle sweeps a lot at even 50 micron/.002in. Dial indicators themselves have some tolerance issues too. So the combination of backlash, endstop repeatability, and dial indicator inaccuracies add up to a lot.
1) V2 is a conical shaped mount designed to fit a 1" range dial indicator. It will clamp onto the shoulder of the dial indicator and has a 9.4mm diameter clamp. It'll hold a 3/8 (9.525mm) nice and snug if your filament has some give. Use a 3mmx20mm screw to clamp it shut. A relief is in place for a 3mm nylock (5.5mm from fla to flat) as well. If you're printing in PLA, use the other mount.
2) V1a is a bracket that will hold pretty much any dial indicator out there t
