Fortunately the display unit can be rotated so the cord doesn't cover the display.Ī special thanks to Thomas Angielsky for the inspiration. It comes out the top of the drill and can therefore cover the display. It did forget about the cord on the actual Dremel Drill itself. It would be nice if the display showed milli-metres but it's not a show stopper. Once the position is reached, the display will show the word "Stop". The display will count down from the top to the chosen position.

Once you have the depth you want to record, give the button a short press and the software will store the value.
As long as every position shows a consistent value, the number can be used to set a specific depth. The number shown is arbitrary, that is it doesn't represent any known unit of measurement. It doesn't appear to be linear but it is consistent. As you move the drill down, the display shows an increasing number as the magnet field intensity decreases. Pressing the button for more the 300mS will set the zero point. (If above 512, your magnet is upside-down. On power on, the display will show the relative magnet field intensity. Make sure the glue doesn't run down the shaft and into the switch. Also super glue the button top on the switch shaft. When putting in the top side components, place the 3D printed "Drill Depth Spacer.stl " under the display so it sits as high as possible off the board. If your board is single sided, there is one link to add on the top side. I find it easier to use solder paste rather than use solder from a reel when soldering SMD components. The Eagle files are attached should you wish to have the PCB commercially made or do as I did and make it yourself. You will need a printed circuit board (PCB). You can take the STL files to a 3D print shop if don't have access to a 3D printer.ĭrill Depth Mount.stl - 0.2mm Layer height, supports touching build plate onlyĭrill Depth Spacer.stl - 0.2mm Layer height, no supportsĭrill Depth Display.stl - 0.2mm Layer height, all supportsĭrill Depth Back.stl - 0.2mm Layer height, no supports To simplify printing, the display module and cover for the Dremel Drill Press are printed separately.
