CR-10S Depth Gauge Mount by replayreb

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

UPDATE: My frame separated from the main body where it joins at the bottom so I added some angled reinforcements and uploaded it as Version 2.0.
This is a remix of CallJoe's "Creality CR-10 Dial Indicator Mount for Bed Level/Tramming rewritten in OpenSCAD. I am using it with the Triton 1" Dial Indicator 0.001" Graduation Travel Lug Back White Face found on Amazon. I added a notch for the part cooler fan and vent slots for the hot end fan. You may have to gently file or scrape the inside edge of the frame if it goes on a little too tight. I also made a split rivet that should be secure enough but be sure to print that at 100% infill. I just got my CR-10S and discovered OpenSCAD only last week so be gentle in your assessment of my coding skills:) I also wrote some gcode to move the gauge around the four corners without dragging the probe along the bed. It was written specifically for my CR-10S so use at your own risk. When it starts it will warn you to remove the gauge and you have to push the button on the CR-10's control panel to continue between each step. I have the X and Y axis moving at maximum speed to speed up the leveling process so consider yourself forewarned. I wrote two versions; The first one, bed_leveling.gcode, moves the nozzle to bed level so you can slip a piece of paper between the nozzle and bed and the second one, elevated_bed_leveling.gcode, just lowers the gauge enough to move the dial but keeps the nozzle well elevated. I tried to program it so the dial should still hit Zero switching between the two versions without having to recalibrate.
