Dial Indicator Mount V02 for Anycubic Kobra S1 Max
Turn your Kobra S1 Max into a true precision calibration machine.
This V02 version completely replaces the original print head cover and integrates a clean magnetic mounting system for a standard dial indicator.
Designed specifically for the Anycubic Kobra S1 Max, this upgrade allows accurate hotbed flatness inspection, first layer optimization, and professional-level bed tramming.
Built for makers who want repeatable precision instead of guessing.
What Makes V02 Different
Unlike the previous version, V02 is a full replacement print head cover.
This creates:
- cleaner integration
- improved rigidity
- more accurate measurements
- faster installation
- better long-term stability
Just replace the original cover and start measuring.
Magnetic Mounting System
This model requires:
- 2x magnets 5x3 mm
- 2x magnets 4x3 mm
Magnets are NOT included.
The magnetic system allows:
- fast attachment
- repeatable positioning
- secure mounting
- tool-free installation
Dial Gauge specs
Dial gauge case diameter = D 38 mm
Dial gauge rod: D 8 mm
Why You Need This
Automatic bed leveling is useful.
Mechanical verification is better.
Large format printers can develop:
- uneven bed surfaces
- gantry inconsistencies
- first layer variation
- edge lifting
- dimensional inaccuracies
This tool helps you identify the REAL mechanical state of the printer with precision.
Because firmware compensation can hide problems.
A dial indicator exposes them.
