Simple friction fit dial indicator holder for bed leveling.
Designed to fit my dial indicator with a 1.5-inch measurement throw.
The shaft hole is designed at 9.5mm. I cleaned out the shaft hole with a 3/8-inch drill bit to create a friction fit for my gauge. The side of the hole could easily be drilled for a set-screw if needed.
Note: I noticed if you use the bed leveling feature on the Ender 6 and take too long, the Ender will time out and disable the steppers. This will allow the Z to drop with the light pressure from the dial indicator. When you select a new zone the Ender will not re-zero from the dropped location. You will need to exit the leveling setup and re-enter it to re-zero the Z axis.
