I made this dial indicator bracket to allow for aligning X carriage rods to the Y rods. Most similar bracket designs place the dial mount between the rod clips, which only allows the tool tip to reach the bed. However, X axis rods should be Y axis rods to ensure the carriage travel is aligned to the Y rods. The bed has its own positioning mechanism (leveling screws) which should be removed from the rod (axis) squaring process.
To get the probe to sit correctly on the Y rods, remove the ball end.
Required hardware (per bracket):
* (1) m5x20 hex cap bolt
* (1) m5 locknut
For best results, adjust your bed to it's lowest position and home your printer on Z to allow the probes to reach the Y rods. If you can't move your print bed out of the way, mount the brackets facing backwards. Turn on the indicator before mounting and be careful not to zero it out. Make sure the bracket is seated all the way down on the rods and that the (sans-ball) probe is on top of the Y rod.
