Calliper holder for adjusting bed height for MP Select V2

Description

I was having a hard time adjusting the print bed height on my MP Select V2 after adding a magnetic PEI sheet So I made this tool that holds a caliper so you can measure at different points off of a single measured point. I mounted it in place of my fan and it fits exactly over the heat sink. Using the screws I mounted my caliper in the clamp. I set the height as perfect as I could at one corner using a piece of paper to gauge thickness. I raised the nozzle, removed the PEI sheet, pushed the caliper gauge down and zeroed it. Now I can move the nozzle and bed around and align it off the first measurement to get all the corners to match the zeroed measurement Once I did that I still had a couple of tweaks to do but it helped me get close enough to get it working great. I hope that makes sense. I know I could have used the piece of paper at all four corners or other techniques for leveling but 1) it just wasn’t working for me and 2) I get to design and print something fun The nuts and bolts are from my son’s vex robotic kit so I don’t know the exact size. The bolts are 4mm at the threads and the nuts are 8.57mm wide and 3mm thick
