This is a magnetically attached measuring indicator bracket used for precise bed leveling on all Solidoodle 3D Printers.
The part that holds the electronic dial indicator is separate from the bracket so that you can design your own part for holding a different dial indicator.
The magnets are very powerful 8 mm rare earth magnets available from Harbor Freight tools for $2.99 for a pack of 10 magnets.
