Any beginning watchmaker is going to buy this Chinese oiler set with four oilers and a 3 part oil cup. Here is the ideal way to organize it!  You just shove the oiler cap into the hole, the oiler now sits in the cap loosely. The oil cup just sits in the space. The two little holes up front are to put some Rodico in, to wipe off your oilers.

I bought a used Scroll Saw from a friend who was moving out of town. I turned it on and a drive link broke within minutes!  It is cheap pot metal and must have gone bad with age. I checked and the manufacturer stopped making the part years ago. I modeled a new (hopefully stronger) part in Fusion 360.

I printed this on an Ender 3v2. I used PLA, probably better in PETG or ABS. I set the wall thickness  to 6 and the top and bottom to 5. 40% infill. It feels pretty strong. If it breaks, I'll make another!

I wanted a bed handle, but not one that used the bed leveling screws (I have enough trouble leveling the bed as it is without pulling on the screws all the time!).

I found the Ender-3 Minimal Bed Handle by McCynic
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3368115

I loved the minimalist design (I'm moving the bed, not driving a race car!) but this one was designed to use the bed leveler screws.  I added a clamp which uses 2 M4 nuts and 2 M4x16mm bolts.

I used Cura to make the clamp end 100% infill so it is as strong as possible. (You could just print the whole thing with 100%) You should probably use PETG or ABS, but I'm not there yet.

You'll notice in the pictures, I stuck a little scrap shim between the screws and the bed frame as I didn't want to scratch my beautiful new Ender 3 V2!

This is a dial caliper holder designed for the Ender 3 V2.

This holder was designed for my WEN 1" Dial Caliper. I found it on Amazon here:
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HFV25M9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I'll bet this is the same measurements as the Harbor Freight caliper.

The dial caliper has a 9.5mm wide barrel and a 1" throw. This should fit 25mm throw gauges as well.  Could fit others as well. You'll need to test. The back of the caliper has the mounting holder, so you'll need to remove that in order for it to fit in the holder.  I made a replacement back for my dial caliper. You can find it here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4587564

I also modified Chuck Hellebuyck's (https://www.chepclub.com) G-Code for bed leveling, so that it now works with my dial calipers.  Please note:  The exact measurements for YOUR dial caliper will need to be entered in the G-Code. If you don't it could drag or bend your caliper arm.  Modifying the G-Code is pretty easy.  I suggest placing the holder on the hot end WITHOUT the caliper and do a test run.

I have included the G-Code to print the holder on the Ender 3 V2. I used PLA+ so the temperature is set to 210 C and the bed temp is set for 60 C.  Again, easy enough to edit the G-Code for your preferred temperature.  My G-Code also includes supports. In my testing the part didn't print well without them.

I purchased a WEN 1" dial indicator from Amazon:

My guess is that this is similar to a Harbor Freight caliper. The back measures 53.25mm. Many backs for dial gauges come with a little tab so that you can mount the calipers. I needed mine flat, so I made one!

Not that it matters, but Thingiverse does not let you specify the Ender 3 V2, which is what I printed this with.

I used the exact same file as MattWall, but I added a dial caliper holder.  Also, I have a card reader in my PC, so I didn't need the holder for the MicroSD card adapter.  I took down the wall and use it as a little cup. Perfect for holding my filament clip!
