Dial Indicator 📏 3D-Printed COMPLIANT MECHANISMS!!📏

This is my print in place, Compliant mechanism using, Dial indicator!
You can use it to level your bed with ease, or as a normal dial indicator!
Update! I have now a Partreon, chek it out!

"Are you going to waste time assembling something? What are we, savages?" Best quote I've heard so far for 3D printing. I should include that in all my designs' descriptions hahaha

[@gustavoencinas]

That phrase and the way he speaks remind me a lot to Richard Hendricks from Silicon Valley. :-)

[@3DPrintingNerd]

This is beyond cool and an AMAZING way to solve this problem. SO GOOD.

[@TurboSunShine]

Thanks Joel:)

[@webslinger2011]

How about a pressure sensitive device(Force redustive sensor). Built using Arduino.

[@SinanAkkoyun]

@@webslinger2011 Why would you if you print one in 1h without soldering, without programming, heck even without hassle!

[@webslinger2011]

@@SinanAkkoyun If I had the same machine. Mine won't fit that in. I could make an adapter but it was easy for me to do it my way than printing bunch of times 😅

[@MichaelRainey]

Joel, you've just gotten Sunshine a new subscriber. I hope you're happy with yourself.

[@ralphbronzin9721]

This guys is pure genius. He comes up with amazing ideas and things that you never know you needed, but wondered what you were doing without them after printing them. I also love how he always films with a natural backdrop instead of a boring studio. Truly clever and entrepeneurial.

[@CNCKitchen]

That's awesome! Great work.

[@TurboSunShine]

Thanks Stefan!

Been wanting to buy a dial indicator just for bed leveling. But you saved me cost. Subscribed!

i bought one years ago but i dont know if the quality was so bad that, as it moves and backs to the same coord without touching anything the values just keep changing....awfull...

You are one of the most innovative people alive. Each one of your projects brings words like 0-day, exploits, easter eggs to mind. So much to learn from you, thanks!

[@Eraknelo]

What do these 3D prints have to do with software security issues? 🤔

[@fahadijaz]

The best and most useful 3d print I have ever printed. Solves the most painful part of a dealing with a 3d printer. Very ingenious and clever design. Thumbs up dude. You are a real genius. You deserve subscribers in millions.

[@jackoryan292]

You're currently the most prolific and creative 3D modeler/printer we have in our community. I'm constantly delighted to see every new thing you've thought up. Fantastic work!

[@xl000]

let's not exaggerate though.

[@certified-forklifter]

very much agreed! :D one of many great designers :)

[@afrizalf16]

Definitely a fan now! Looking forward to what's next!

[@billfield8300]

Finally... someone who understands that a piece of paper is NOT precision. Will check out some of your other vids. Looks like you have some unique ideas. Thanks for the video.

I REALLY love what you do. Amazing!

[@emrose3308]

I've had nitpick issues with my bed leveling since I got my printer, this will be so helpful!

[@phatbman]

Seriously, this is one of the most useful 3d prints I have made. Thank you!

[@josealberto8764]

You caught my attention with the over-engineered moka pot but I just fell in love with this tinny tool. Brilliant!

[@Ma_X64]

Device you done calls "microcator". These devices in metal are extremely precise. It's quite common to have 3 um division value on such device but this isn't a limit at all. Of course in real devices they use sapphire tips, very robust spring steel for mechanism, strong metall body and so on.

[@davidcahan]

Super incredible design and ingenuity

[@stefanobrambilla9873]

I love the creativity you put in your designs! I can't wait to print this!

[@tlc12070]

I would spend countless hours trying to level my bed and this tool has saved me my sanity and more time to do things. I can't thank you enough. When I get back to work I will definitely donate to you. Again thank you!!!!

[@TurboSunShine]

happy to hear it made leveling easier for you :)

[@radicalxedward8047]

So glad I stumbled across your channel. I’m very new to 3D printing, and every time I think “man, I’d love to design X, why has nobody done this to make things easier?” And then it turns out you did it.

[@nathanb62]

I mean, you just do it so much better than anyone else. I LOOOVE IT!!!

[@victorandrei02]

This is one of the most useful simple prints I've ever seen. Super cool. Keep printing!

[@mirkoragni3118]

WOW this is definitely the most ingenious way to level the bed I've ever seen. Compliments and thank for sharing

[@maxsiebenschlafer5054]

I'm happy to see a new design from you. You inspired me also to challange my designing skills. Thank you

[@rafasuafer2806]

Going to print this first in the morning, you just blew my mind. Loved it. Will update once tested! :D

[@HerrSalat]

That's amazing! Gonna try it when I'm back home!

[@agepbiz]

The stuff you design is so cool! Great job!

[@TurboSunShine]

Thanks man! :D

[@AdamBGames]

This is amazing, just printed it and levelled my bed, ive NEVER seen a bottom layer as good as the one I got after using this. You have earned a sub

[@chas1878]

This is an amazingly cheap way for tramming in a bed. I would have never imagined something like this, not even in my dreams. Nowhere as good as an actual indicator of course but you gotta work with what you've got

[@nickrowan]

Super clever! Loving all your designs!

[@jayeshghanekar4816]

[@FrancoisMathieu]

Cool, very nice design!

[@user-cb9kz2il8g]

Holy moly! This definitely will be my first Ender 3 improvement. Currently I have Anet A6 and bed levelling is just A NIGHTMARE. I love machines that bend because of precision. Subscribed and waiting for more, thank you!

[@carloszilzer3291]

I want to congratulate you! your design is awesome. I first tried to print it with .30 clearance but was not lucky, then I tested the .40 clearance and it works. I will build a clamp for my Prusa I3 printer

[@stuartclark2363]

This is a very clever solution to a common problem I can't believe I have not seen this before keep up the good work 👍 and thank you
