Dial Indicator Mount for Anycubic Kobra S1 Max
Transform your printer into a true precision calibration machine.
This compact Dial Indicator Mount is designed specifically for the print head cover of the Anycubic Kobra S1 Max, allowing fast and repeatable bed alignment using a standard dial indicator.
Built for makers who care about first-layer perfection, mechanical accuracy, and reliable large-format printing.
Why This Model Exists
Most large-format printers rely entirely on automatic compensation.
That works… until it doesn’t.
When printing large parts, engineering components, or multi-hour projects, even tiny bed inconsistencies become visible:
- inconsistent first layer
- edge lifting
- dimensional inaccuracies
- uneven nozzle pressure
- wasted filament and time
This mount gives you something firmware cannot:
real mechanical verification.
Attach your dial indicator in seconds and manually inspect bed flatness with professional precision.
Because sometimes the best calibration tool is still physics.
Dial Gauge specs
Dial gauge case diameter = D 38 mm

Printing Recommendations
Material:
- PLA+
- PETG
- ABS/ASA recommended for enclosed high-temperature environments
Layer Height:
- 0.20 mm
Infill:
- 35–45%
Supports:
- Required
Installation
- Print the mount
- Insert your dial indicator
- Attach it to the print head cover
- Move the toolhead across the bed
- Measure real surface deviation with high precision
Simple. Fast. Extremely effective.
Why It Stands Out
Most calibration accessories are universal.
Universal usually means compromise.
This model was designed around the exact geometry of the Kobra S1 Max print head cover to achieve:
- cleaner fit
- better rigidity
- improved repeatability
- professional-looking integration
