Use this tool to hold a Dial Indicator with a 3.178mm endmill in the Carvera spindle. This works with both the Original Carvera (C1) and Carvera Air. A shorter version of the tool (65mm) works on the Z1
Using this tool you can rotate the dial indicator against the bed and it will show you how much the spindle is tilted, and in which direction. The distance between the spindle and Dial Indicator(s) is 95mm.
Be sure that your bed is flat before using this tool. This is best achieved by replacing the stock MDF beds with an aluminum one, and using shims between the bed carriage and bed to level it out. You can use the ZProbe to measure the bed flatness see the guide I wrote on Discord: https://discord.com/channels/910194756473225269/1298417372708868106
This model is best printed with tree supports on the build plate only. It is designed to be used with M3 heat-serts for threads, and M3x10mm cap head fasteners. The hole for the Dial Indicator is 8mm. The .step file is available if you need to make any adjustments.
If you have two dial indicators available the dual model is best, otherwise you will need to use a mirror (or phone) to read the dial when its facing away from you.
