X2D Toolhead Dial Indicator Holder

🛠️ This dial gauge holder was specifically developed for the Bambu Lab X2D and allows for quick and precise manual bed leveling directly on the toolhead.

The holder is attached to the toolhead with a slight tilting motion from bottom to top and then sits stable and secure. No screws, no magnets, and no modifications to the printer are necessary.

📏 Supports standard dial gauges with an 8 mm shaft.

The dial gauge is secured using a fully printed clamping device, including a printed screw. Despite PLA, the clamping works surprisingly stable and reliably.

I developed the holder to:

• quickly check the flatness of the print bed
• manually fine-tune the bed
• verify the consistency of automatic calibration

Especially for technical materials or large prints, it is helpful to be able to directly measure the actual bed geometry.

⚠️ Important note on the print profile:

Please use the included print profile unchanged.

The threaded area of the printed screw intentionally uses a layer height of 0.16 mm on the lower layers, while the rest of the print is done at 0.20 mm. This makes the thread significantly cleaner and smoother.

Although the screw also works with a continuous 0.20 mm, it feels noticeably rougher.
