18mm Inductive Sensor Rear Mount

thingiverse

Use for mounting your inductive z-height sensor ahead of Mak-a-face's 3 or 4 bearing x-carriage for the following Prusa i3 re-work style x-carriages: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:643799 This locates you inductive sensor ahead of the x-carriage and out of the way, which is very nice and clean. It also helps balance the mass of the hot-end so that the CG of the carriage is more aligned with the belts. Unfortunately this DOES limit your z-height on Prusa i3 so look elsewhere for an inductive sensor mounted on the front side of the x-carriage if that is important to you. For this design, the sensor is clamped in the bracket; you no longer need the nuts to lock it in. I like to position the nuts on top of the bracket with them jammed together as a method of maintaining the vertical location of the sensor if you need to disassemble the x-carriage and do not want to lose fine-tuning of the z-stop height.
