To help make bed leveling easier I made a holder for a Wen Precision Dial Indicator (model 10702) This will clip to the "X axis Rail" and will help you with bed leveling. One note I did rotate the mounting clip on the back of the gauge so this 3d model reflects that change. This is as simple as removing the 4 screws in the back of the gauge and rotating the mount 90º. Once you assemble both pieces (I used threaded inserts into the back clip and ran screws into them from the front piece. two of the screw holes in the holder itself won't be used)

This design does not require any supports. You might have to split it into objects in your slicer software.

To use

You will clip this to one side of your X axis rail and move your bed close enough that it pushes in on the gauge. See where the gauge is then move it to another corner and adjust your bed screws accordingly till the measurement gets as close as possible to the previous number from the other corner then move your Y axis to the other side of the bed and do those two corners. "Wash rinse and repeat" until all 4 corners are close to each other. (Remember if you make one change in one corner it will change the other 3 so you will have to double check all around the bed a few times until you get the numbers you want)

I also include the Fusion 360 project file so you can edit it as you need to.
