Description

<B>This Thing Is Marked As Wip In Case I Need To Add More Photos, Update Instructions Or Tweak The Files. This Thing Still Prints And Works Pretty Well Though!</B> As Before, This Mount Is Designed For The "<A Target="_Blank" Href="Http://Www.Gearbest.Com/3D-Printer-Parts/Pp_591321.Html?Lkid=10919950" Title="Gearbest Practical 6 - 36V Auto Leveling Sensor For 3D Printer">Practical 6 - 36V Auto Leveling Sensor For 3D Printer</A>". I Made It Because I Couldn'T Find Any Rear Mounts For This Sensor That I Was Satisfied With. This Is A New Version Of My Rear Sensor Mount For Stock/Tronxy Sensors For The Anet A8. <A Href="Https://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:2410950" Target="_Blank">The Old One</A> Was Alright, But Was Too Low For An E3D Carriage And Twisted A Lot, So I Improved It. It'S More Stable And, Although It'S A Little Bigger, It Also Looks Better. This One Has A Little Bit Of Give, Depending On How Well Your Printer Prints, But Not Enough To Be A Problem. It Is Assembled In Virtually The Same Way As The Old One, But Uses Two Less Screws As One Part Has Been Removed Entirely. <B>Advantages Of This Include:</B> <Ul> <Li>Much Lighter Than The Acrylic Hunk That Comes With The Sensor</Li> <Li>Sensor Height Can Be Adjusted With Much Higher Precision Using A Screw And Spring, Without Updating Firmware Or Hoping You'Ve Kept It Steady While Tightening Screws</Li> <Li>Sensor Is Out Of The Way Of The Nozzle, Allowing A Good View Of Prints</Li> <Li>Does Not Displace The Fan At All, So You Don'T Have To Worry About Whether Your Duct Is In The Right Position</Li> <Li>It'S Compatible With Most Other Custom X-Carriages As It Doesn'T Mount Directly To Them</Li> </Ul> This Thing Is Comprised Of 3 Files, But You Only Need Two: <Ul> <Li>Sensorblockuniversal - This Is The Bit The Sensor Fixes To - You Need This Piece</Li> <Li>Screwblocke3D <B>Or</B> Screwblockstock - You Only Need One Of These. You Need To Use Screwblocke3D If You Use The <A Href="Https://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:2099577" Target="_Blank">E3D Carriage By Ats</A> Or Similar, Or You Need To Use Screwblockstock If You'Re Using The Stock Carriage</Li> </Ul> The Reason The E3D Carriage Requires A Different Screwblock Is That It Raises The Hotend Nozzle Too High Up For The Stock Mount To Work. <B>However, It Is Possible That Volcano Hotends Will Still Need The Screwblockstock Part!</B> <B>Note: I Haven'T Tested The E3D Block Properly, As I Accidentally Broke The Hotend. Oops. It Should Still Work Based On How It Was Designed Though!</B> Important Settings To Change In Configuration.H: <B>Stock Nozzle Position:</B> <Code>\#Define X_Probe_Offset_From_Extruder 18</Code> <Code>\#Define Y_Probe_Offset_From_Extruder 60</Code> <Code>\#Define Left_Probe_Bed_Position 40 \#Define Right_Probe_Bed_Position 180 \#Define Back_Probe_Bed_Position 180 \#Define Front_Probe_Bed_Position 60</Code> <B>E3D Nozzle Position:</B> <Code>\#Define X_Probe_Offset_From_Extruder 0</Code> <Code>\#Define Y_Probe_Offset_From_Extruder 60</Code> <Code>\#Define Left_Probe_Bed_Position 40 \#Define Right_Probe_Bed_Position 180 \#Define Back_Probe_Bed_Position 180 \#Define Front_Probe_Bed_Position 60</Code> Either Way, You Must Ensure That Auto_Bed_Leveling_Grid_Points Is Set To 3, Like This: <Code>\#Define Auto_Bed_Leveling_Grid_Points 3</Code> (Thanks, <A Href="Https://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Niftymaker/" Target="_Blank">Niftymaker</A>!) Things You Need: <Ul> <Li>The 3D Printed Parts You Need For Your Carriage</Li> <Li>A Screwdriver</Li> <Li>2 M3*12 Screws - You Can Get A Way With Shorter, But Longer Could Be A Problem</Li> <Li>1 M3*30 Screw Or An M3*20 Screw - 30 Allows You To Lower The Sensor More</Li> <Li>An M3 Nut</Li> <Li>A Pen Spring - Not Necessary, But Helps Keep The Sensor Down</Li> <Li>The Autolevelling Sensor And The M3 Screws And Nuts It Comes With</Li> </Ul> Sorry About Some Of The Photos! I'Ve Tried A Little Post-Processing To Tidy Them Up A Bit, But I'M Still Getting Used To The Distance This Camera Is Focuses At. I'M Pretty New To 3D Printing, So If You Have Any Tips, I'D Love To Hear Them!
