**Note:** Technically this is still a work in progress, there are still issues that bug me (described below), but I'm moving on to [Tiny Touch](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3833861). People who find themselves in my situation will still benefit from seeing this post. This design mirrors the original [version](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2805327) and fuses it with my x-axis chain carrier [design](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3825535). Since I'm expecting a clone E3D V6, I want to create something that fits both carriers perfectly. Plus, I've grown attached to my x-axis chain, so I decided to fuse them together. Other minor changes from the original design include: * Shorter carrier mount * Removed back flap on the carrier mount (won't fit on E3D carrier) * Replaced 1mm support with "build plate only support" from slic3r for better results * Made it shorter so sensor light passes through flag's "window" * Mirrored and strengthened the flag, as the rod clip kept breaking * Extended the top to ensure the servo can catch it securely The main issue with this remix is that you'll lose about 15mm on the x-axis because the sensor will bump into the right frame.
