Anet A8 3D-Touch Mount

thingiverse

This is a mount for the Geeetech 3D-Touch / BLTouch Sensor for Anet A8 printers. This design is meant for people who do not use an extruder cooling fan and heatsink. (Both are not really needed as shown by multiple experiments of different users. Please no discussions about that.) I included the Fusion 360 file which makes it easy to modify if needed. The mount fits right onto the side of the extruder using the original (shorter) screws. It has little holes for the nuts of the sensor screws to make assembling easy. After assembling the sensor is very stiff connected to the j-frame. It will hardly move or bend on usage. I printed it topside down to get best stiffness. The model was adjusted to print without supports. I used the following print settings: Printer: Anet A8 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 30% You can find more information on Marlin and auto levelling at http://marlinfw.org/docs/configuration/configuration.html.
