BLTouch / 3DTouch adjustable sensor holder for mounting behind a radial fan

thingiverse

This is a holder for the BLTouch/3DTouch sensor, designed to be mounted behind the radial cooling fan. Initially created for my Anet A8 in combination with the "Mistral 2.1a" fan duct from user Neo_N (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2121279), I believe it will work even without the fan duct and on other 3D printers. The height of the sensor is easily adjustable across a wide range to suit all needs. Any of the holes in the slider can be used to achieve maximum desired height, with just one screw required to secure the slider/sensor in place due to the small slides added within the sensor slider. I have also included the FreeCad construction file, allowing easy adjustment of nearly all part parameters using the sketches I have created. All parts are based on these sketches. A small update has been made to the design: (26.06.2018) Bigger holes have been added to the baseplate and the plate has been enlarged. A little more distance has also been created between the sensor on the slider holder and the baseplate.
