A double mounting system for a dial gauge for 3D printer calibration. The brand of the dial gauge is unknown but the mounting surfaces are 13.8mm external diameter.
One mount is meant to slide onto a 12mm rod, and the other is designed to screw onto an XChange toolplate.
Parts required:
Gauge clip x 2
Arm x 1
XChange mount x 2
12mm rod mount x 1
Knob x 1
Required hardware:
M4 x 35mm x 2 - Gauge clips to arm
M4 x 15mm x 2 - Arm to 12mm rod mount
M5 x 20mm x 1 (hex head) - retainer for 12mm rod mount, clamping against rod
M3 x 8mm x 4 - XChange mount to XChange tool plate
Assembly should be snug with zero wiggle. The printed parts are likely very tight by design. I filed the mounts slightly until the dial gauge would clip in securely.
