BL-Touch Probe Mount for Yakandu's Kossel Effector (With STEP File)

thingiverse

I'm posting this for another user, but to be honest, I don't use this thing myself. It worked okay, but I found that a zero offset probe gave me much better results on my Anycubic Kossel Plus. The offset caused the probing circle to be too small and it didn't seem as accurate as a zero offset probe. Right now, I'm using a cheap sensor that just goes over the nozzle and is held by foam like this (it's simple and much easier to work with): https://www.ebay.com/itm/3D-Printer-Leveling-Sensor-Auto-3D-Touch-Module-Parts-Hot-Bed-Automatic-Leveling/362619131177 I posted a picture showing the offset, which is 27.184mm from the center of the hole in the effector to the probe tip (how this is set up in Marlin will depend on the orientation of the probe to the printer, of course). The parts are not oriented for printing. There's a version of the clamp with a zip tie passthrough for better cable management. If you use it and have any suggestions, please post a comment or make one. I'm leaving this as a work in progress since I don't use it (I've tested it previously), but I don't plan to develop this further. The STEP file is uploaded for easier remixing. The mount for the BL-Touch requires an M3 nut and an M3x12mm screw (I think it was a flat head screw, but a round head should also work - cap won't). To mount the BL-Touch to the sliding part, 2 M3 nuts and M3x16mm screws can be used. The other mounting hardware should be the same as the original design. If you try this out and have decent results with the offset probe, please post a comment. I might give it another shot.
