I don't want to be bothered by installing an Auto Bed Levelling probe. My bed holds level pretty well. This Dial Indicator adapter helps me fine tune the leveling even further as I like to swap between the Creality Mag bed and the glass bed depending on the project and the finish I want.
Both holders just slide onto the stock fan shroud and is held in place by a snug friction fit. The Dial socket is deep and snug enough to securely hold the Dial Indicator.
This adapter is to fit the digital model in the picture. Amazon link: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07C9MZ858/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
There are two versions - the Tall and Short. The Tall one allows the dial tip to be closer inline to the nozzle. The Short one allows the dial tip further away - just depends on your preference.
I've used the Short one is good for initial leveling since you can see the surface easier. I then use the Tall version for ongoing bed swap and leveling.
Notes:
You will need to rotate these onto their backs so they lay flat and use supports. Regular supports in CURA is just fine, no tree supports needed.
Took measurements and ensured that there was enough venting around the Dial Indicator body to allow airflow to the hot end.
