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.
