Anet A6 + 3D BLTouch Brace

thingiverse

Hey guys, It seems that the new Anet A6s come with two mount screw holes in front for another auto-level sensor. As a result, I created this mount to let my 3D BLTouch use these holes. Steps: 1. Install the 3D BL Touch with its provided mount. 2. Make a wiring harness. I bought a 2.54mm Dupont Connector Kit, a JST-XHP connector kit, and a Dupont Crimp tool for this job. I'll post some pictures of the final product later. 3. Strip pin three on the LCD connector and add a new pin to it. This is necessary only for the LCD with five buttons on the right (Zonestar LCD). Check out the documentation in pins_ANET_10.h to see what to do if you have a different LCD. 4. Connect everything up. Note that I didn't Y the two grounds together, but instead used a GND pin (pin eight) on the free/open LCD connector on the mainboard. 5. Reload Marlin with these settings: Original work goes to https://www.thingiverse.com/ithinuel and his Anet mount https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2451350. Also, https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2091529 has some great comments on the steps you can take. Tested on Marlin 1.1.9 ```c #define BLTOUCH // #define X_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER 0 #define Y_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER -57 #define Z_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER -1.90 // I hear bilinear is better. Haven't tried yet #define AUTO_BED_LEVELING_LINEAR // #define LEFT_PROBE_BED_POSITION 20 #define RIGHT_PROBE_BED_POSITION 190 #define FRONT_PROBE_BED_POSITION 20 #define BACK_PROBE_BED_POSITION 150 // #define LCD_BED_LEVELING ```
