#Please see the newer version [Here](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2766701) It features a much better design with more compatibility and better cooling! Updated 1-18-18 READY TO GO! See it run here: https://youtu.be/Nrn9100MQbY See my Rear Sensor Mount version here https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2763157 All instructions are for the Anet A8. Reduced some sizes, moved some things and cleaned it up. I added some zip tie holes in the sides and improved tolerances. I made slotted holes because my printed X mounts changed the dimensions a bit. I have printed, installed and now used this part. Below are instructions on how to set it up. I printed them with 1.8mm wall and 30% fill. I also made a set at 1.2mm wall and 15% fill that worked perfectly. Both in PLA. This includes guides like my thing https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2732685 built into the mount. Get the latest Skynet3D firmware from https://github.com/thijsk/Skynet3d and please update your firmware as follows: Enable RAMPS boards, this is for the common ones like https://goo.gl/XW91zh [Amazon.com link] PLEASE pay attention and be sure to choose the correct code for your motherboards. See boards.h in the Skynet firmware for a list. define MOTHERBOARD BOARD_RAMPS_14_EEB Enable dual extruders: define EXTRUDERS 2 Offsets for the extruders: define HOTEND_OFFSET_X {0.0, 35.00} define HOTEND_OFFSET_Y {0.0, 0.00} For the probe it's : define X_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER -35 // X offset: -left +right [of the nozzle] define Y_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER 4 // Y offset: -front +behind [the nozzle] define Z_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER -5 // Z offset: -up +down You will need: 1) E3D style extruders 2) RAMPS 1.4 or 1.5 3) Marlin/Skynet firmware 4) 40mm M4 Screws and Nuts for the cap, 3 of them 5) 50mm blower fan 6) Wires, connectors, crimpers, and a soldering iron helps. I have made a guide in PDF form available here https://goo.gl/1s8jSR for setting the offsets. You will need a serial connection to your printer and I found using Octoprint is really easy. Here's a crapCAD schematic of the optocoupler board I made to run the 12v probe completely isolated from the RAMPS board.  Thank you! Enjoy and please like, comment and share!
