Refer to the YouTube video for Assembly. Also, a video of it in use is available online. To ensure proper deployment, remember to attach a small magnet to the top of the rotating arm (top deploy arm) and half a small washer to the top left side of the Terminal Contactor Plug. The welder rod will require snapping off at the correct length for your printer. The Kossel Mini required 20mm removal. Additionally, the 1.6mm CK standard collet may need its ends adjusted so that the rod slides freely. The collet can be moved up and down in the collet body to adjust the probe for your specific printer. Setup: For the Kossel Mini, set the following configurations: In Configuration.h: ```c #define Z_PROBE_OFFSET (0, 24.0, -2.08, 0) ``` In Marlin_main.cpp: ```c void deploy_z_probe() { feedrate = homing_feedrate[X_AXIS]; destination[X_AXIS] = 0; // T3P3 Kossel Mini R2 destination[Y_AXIS] = 67; // T3P3 Kossel Mini R2 destination[Z_AXIS] = 22; prepare_move_raw(); feedrate = homing_feedrate[X_AXIS]/10; destination[X_AXIS] = -23; // T3P3 Kossel Mini prepare_move_raw(); st_synchronize(); } void retract_z_probe() { feedrate = homing_feedrate[Z_AXIS]; destination[Z_AXIS] = current_position[Z_AXIS] + 40; // T3P3 Kossel Mini R2 prepare_move_raw(); destination[X_AXIS] = -40; destination[Y_AXIS] = 60 ; destination[Z_AXIS] = 40; prepare_move_raw(); // Move the nozzle below the print surface to push the probe up. feedrate = homing_feedrate[Z_AXIS]/10; destination[Z_AXIS] = current_position[Z_AXIS] - 35; prepare_move_raw(); feedrate = homing_feedrate[Z_AXIS]; destination[Z_AXIS] = current_position[Z_AXIS] + 30; prepare_move_raw(); st_synchronize(); } ```
