3DTouch Sensor adapter for e3d clamp

thingiverse

If you want to use this e3d Mount, you can use that adapter for your 3DTouch sensor - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1695758 And there is a front part - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2172476 !!! Hole its not square, check it please before forcing sensor in it !!! !!! its 18mm version !!! If anyone needs the sensor like this You can order GENUINE 3DTouch sensor here : http://ali.pub/ldh23 Or GENUINE BLTouch if you prefer is here: http://ali.pub/1f5veq Or cheapest one here : http://ali.pub/1h7ghd Later I try to remix that e3d mount for proper 3dtouch mounting point. PS. my parts in action - https://youtu.be/cJ1K7rZsdtY PS2 . sensor in action - https://youtu.be/HdLyox9N8CE ================================================================================================================================================================ ===================================================================================================================================================== !!! ALL THANKS GOING TOO - http://www.thingiverse.com/OderWat/about !!! !!! OderWat IS THE ONE THAT MAKE IS POSSIBLE !!! It uses the "LED pin" which is an unused pin on the board. This pin should be connected to the "TRIGGER" of your 3D-Touch sensor. The LED is connected to ground, so it will light up when the pin is activated. Here are the steps to connect the sensor: 1. Connect the "VCC" of the sensor to a 5V pin on the board. 2. Connect the "GND" of the sensor to a GND pin on the board. 3. Connect the "TRIGGER" of the sensor to the LED pin. After connecting the sensor, you need to configure the firmware to use the 3D-Touch sensor. In the firmware settings, go to "Configure > Sensors" and select "3D-Touch" as the sensor type. Then, set the "Trigger Pin" to the pin where you connected the LED. Now, you can test your sensor by running the following commands: M280 P0 S10 ; pushes pin down M280 P0 S90 ; drags pin up M280 P0 S120 ; does selftest (pin up/down continuously) M280 P0 S160 ; reset alarm M280 P0 S60 ; switch triggering test mode If your sensor does not selftest but blinks directly or after some few alternating motions, you need to adjust the screw in the top of the sensor. One of the allen wrenches which are part of the printer does fit right in. Lose the screw until the light went off, then fasten the screw until it is lit again. Finally, you can try a G28 command. If everything is OK it will probe twice in the middle of the bed. The tip will go down and up again as soon it touches the surface of the bed. If not you need to check cables and settings. To adjust the z offset I use the following easy procedure: ; preheat for working temperatures (M502 ; optionally reset to firmware settings) M851 Z0 ; reset any z-offset G28 ; home all G1 X110 Y110 ; move nozzle in center ; now move your nozzle manually onto the bed such that it (strongly) grips paper. G92 Z0 ; tell the printer that this is Z = 0 G30 X110 Y110 ; move the sensor over the center and let it trigger ; note what z position G30 reports, that, negated, is your z offset M851 Z-1.23 ; register that z offset (here 1.23 as example) M500 ; store those values into the EEPROM You may want to do some G30 X110 Y110 commands to validate how well your sensor works. It should report the same values +/- 0.0x. You can also enable Z_MIN_PROBE_REPEATABILITY_TEST in the firmware and use M48 L10 P8 V4 to let it test repeatability at the same point with a lot of fake movement in between probes. There are occasions where the sensor after power on gives an error with the G28 command for no obvious reason. I found that the sequence: M280 P0 S160 ; Reset 3D-Touch G4 P500 M280 P0 S10 ; Pin out G4 P500 M280 P0 S90 ; Pin back G4 P500 Before the G28 command will reset the sensor in a way that it will always (tm) work. UPDATE: I added an alternative design "Distant" for the excellent "Mistral 2" cooling fanduct. This needs slightly changed firmware settings as follows: define X_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER -26 define RIGHT_PROBE_BED_POSITION 200 Print Settings Printer: Anet A8 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 100%
