0-1"/0.0005" DIGITAL ELECTRONIC INDICATOR GAGE GAUGE w/Absolute and Hold Functions Inch/Metric conversion

This gauge indicator is perfect for 3D printers. I use it to level my build plate. You can even find some jigs made to hold these indicators on your specific printer for leveling your build plate. It comes with a nice rigid plastic case that holds the indicator, a mounting plate, manual, and battery. For the money I would recommend anyone needing one of these to get this one.

This is a great little device for leveling 3d printer beds. It is very accurate and easy to use. I have it taped to my nozzle and detach when not in use.

This review is for the AccuRemote Digital Indicator Gauge- product link below. I use this gauge to level the print bed in my 3D printer. I printed a clamp to hold it on the extruder carriage and wrote some gcode to move it around the bed and measure variations in surface flatness. It works great at room temperature and measurements are quite repeatable. It gets 4 stars instead of 5 because when the bed is hot, measurements are not very repeatable- I think that heat creeps up the probe and affects the readings- the numbers keep dropping the longer the probe is in contact with the bed. It comes in a very robust storage case with a spare battery. It has a USB port but there's no mention of it in the manual, and when I plug it into USB, all the display segments light up, so I don't think it can be used to capture measurement data.

Got indicator today and ran some tests on it to check accuracy and repeatability . .Using a rigid indicator setup and a black surface plate and a fowler economy grade 81 piece block set at 60* F (15*C). Block used Reading on indicator .05 .050 .100 .0995 .125 .125 .150 .150 .200 .1995 .250 .250 .500 .499 .650 .6495 .750 .7495 1.000 .999 Repeatability varied +-.0005 so if you have a job with +-.005 or more this is a great deal but for something with say +-.005 or less I would look elsewhere.I gave it a five star because it is within its advertised tolerance.

I am a Mitutoyo supporter and if they would have offered a 0-1" travel indicator for anything near a reasonable price and the correct steam diameter I would have bought it. Yet I have been extremely surprised by how much this indicator offers for the price, really cannot go wrong with it. Only issue is the programmable function is not ABS so pressing the zero button wipes it out.

I own a variety of Dial indicators, this one is damn near the top of my list. I use it on my 3D printer because it has a modifiable back plate to aid in mounting. It comes with an extra battery and the display is a good size. It also has a very robust case that it comes in. I would buy more if I needed to.

The price is very attractive and the indicator repeats flawlessly. Although its repeats flawlessly, the values are off by .001" - .0015". I used a surface plate and tungsten-carbide gage blocks to inspect accuracy and my Brown & Sharpe mic to inspect the gage blocks. So I would only recommend if you have loose tolerances. I use mine if I have multiple parts at +/- .002 tolerance or to roughly inspect flatness. To be fair compared to well known name brands it is only a fraction of the cost, but you get what you pay for. - Anthony : Machinist, Tool and Die Maker, 27 years

Wanted a decent digital indicator to level my 3D printer bed. This does the job, very surprised by the quality! It even comes with a nice hard case
