DTI (Dial Test Indicator) Mount for the Ormerod

Just released a DTI Mounting Bracket for the Ormerod, for DTIs with an 8mm diameter shank.
It mounts in place of the HotEnd, and makes leveling the Bed a Breeze...

If you have a DTI that has a shank diameter that is different to 8mm then PM me, and I'll add a design to suit your needs.
Enjoy,
Kim..

LoL Erik... The extra weight of a metal one would help I should think, as long as you don't need a crane to get it on... I found the spring in the DTI, is nearly enough to turn the x-carriage here, so I move the carriage by holding the 10mm bearing on the back of the X-axis.
I'm still hoping to mill the dual extruder tomorrow.... Wish I could fit the miller in the boot with all the other junk I cart about... Maybe I should get a truck...
Am about to start designing stuff for the DTI Pheonix Quadcopter, so if you hear a sound of Angry Bees flying about, it'll be me.....
