ZedThing
Description
I wanted an auto bed leveling setup, and decided to create a simple io board to use the Z axis for this purpose.. I'd seen a few vids on YouTube about it, and reckoned it wasn't too hard.. Have a look at the attached image, and you'll see what I came up with.. Simple, neat, and small.. 24mm x 41mm.. I could have made it smaller, but then soldering 805 SMD parts becomes a chore! Anyhoo, have a look, and let me know what you think.. And before anyone yells RIPOFF, I designed this without seeing any commercially available "kit".. Oh, yeah, and WAAAY cheaper too.. Bare boards are £7.50, and I can do the built board for £20, both including postage. You'll need to source the probe and print a mount. Probe is easily found on Ebay for about £5.. PNP NO, type LJC18A3-B-Z/BY. I've included a Tee Nut mount for using on the V-Slot extrusions used with Creality printers.. Have a look here for the mounts I made: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3061118 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3008420 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3001509 Installed the ZedThing in my Ender-3, and it works GREAT! I'll be using another one with an inductive sensor on the Y axis linear rail conversion I have planned for my Ender-3.. Schematic now uploaded... Probe type = ljc18a3-b-z/by.. PCB's available, pm me for details.. YouTube video of ZedThing doing its thing..: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5iH3y20MQE&t=7s
