Dial Gauge Holder - Prusa i3

I need to attribute the original idea to jamesarm97 and his Prusa I3 (Wades extruder) Dial Gauge Holder (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:112312). I wanted a variation of this with some tweaks, so I made a SCAD file (I don't have autocad to use his DWG file for the edits). Here are my updates:

 Pins to mount to the extruder 30mm apart from the center of the pins - the originals were too close together   A slot to snug the back of the dial gauge into for more vertical stability   Rounded Corners  

I also used I used a 3d printed 6mm nut and bolt from Trevm's OpenSCAD ISO metric thread library / functions (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:27183) which was really easy to setup, however my Afinia printing at .15 layer height on the fine setting couldn't make the threads come out cleanly. I will try again or just buy metal nuts and bolts.
