BL-Touch Probe Mount for Yakandu's Kossel Effector (With STEP File)
Description
This was requested by another user so I am posting it, but I don't use this thing. It did work, but I found a zero offset probe worked much better on my Anycubic Kossel Plus. The offset caused the probing circle to be too small and being offset it did not seem to be as accurate as a zero offset probe. I currently use a cheap sensor that just goes over the nozzle and is held by foam like these (simple and much easier to work with): https://www.ebay.com/itm/3D-Printer-Leveling-Sensor-Auto-3D-Touch-Module-Parts-Hot-Bed-Automatic-Leveling/362619131177 I posted a pic showing the offset which is 27.184mm from the center of the hole in the effector to the probe tip (how this is set up in Marlin will depend on the orientation of the probe to the printer of course). The parts are not oriented for printing. There is a version of the clamp which has a zip tie passthrough for better cable management. If you use it and have any suggestions, please post a comment or make. I am leaving this as a work in progress since I do not use it (I have tested it previously), but do not plan to develop this further. The STEP file is uploaded for easier remixing. The mount for the BL-Touch requires an M3 nut and an M3x12mm screw (IIRC it was a flat head screw, but a round head should also work - cap will not). To mount the BL-Touch to the sliding part, 2 M3 nuts and M3x16mm screws can be used. The other mounting hardware should be the same as the original design. If you try this out and have decent results with the offset probe, please post a comment. I may give it another try.
