ANET A8 | V2 Rear Bed Level Sensor Holder - Customizable

thingiverse

I further revamped the rear sensor holder... This time a customizable design and featuring also a screwable clamp for effortless installation and removal! The general idea is from LucaCap's rear bed leveling sensor holder (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1883473). All credit for the fantastic design and idea goes to him! Nevertheless, the original design requires tapping threads into the metal bearing. This modified design is equipped with plastic dowels, which fit in the non-threaded holes on the back of the linear slides and are secured with M3 screws (e.g. M3 x 10mm). NO THREAD TAPPING REQUIRED! The download section holds the basic variants for an 18mm, a 12mm as well as for an 8mm sensor! For further options or versions use the CUSTOMIZER! Variants: Clip - as the version before with further improvements and customizable parameters Screw - use a screwable clamp to secure your sensor to the back of your linear slide! This enables effortless installation and removal and does not allow the sensor to move at all. Note: depending on your sensor and your cable management you may lose some centimeters of available print height due to an interference of sensor and printer frame. Firmware configuration: Due to the altered sensor position the following changes have to be done in the configuration.h file (search for the capitalized string and adapt the subsequent numbers): With my E3Dv6 mount / carriage: #define X_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER 0 #define Y_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER 51 With the stock carriage: #define X_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER 26 #define Y_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER 51 Additionally for all setups: #define FRONT_PROBE_BED_POSITION 51 NOTE: If you added a custom offset, adapt the Y-parameters above correspondingly! Note for those who don't own a sensor yet: I use this sensor. Print Settings Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 40% Notes: Recommended Screws: Mount/Dowels: M3x10 Clamp: M3x10
