<p>BLTouch gauge block</p> <p>Help set the 8.3mm height from the nozzle. I believe the newer Smart BL Touch has a 8.5mm distance, from shoulder to tip of probe.</p> <p>Also see: BLTouch Home &amp; Auto Levelling Height Gauge [Custom Height] <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3632378">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3632378</a></p> <p>How to use it:-</p> <p>See how I used this BL Touch Gauge, should link to this position of this adjust this video:- <a href="https://youtu.be/truJB5TqmoA?t=5m8s">https://youtu.be/truJB5TqmoA?t=5m8s</a></p> <p>See BL Touch getting adjusted, should link to this position of this adjust this video:- <a href="https://youtu.be/truJB5TqmoA?t=11m0s">https://youtu.be/truJB5TqmoA?t=11m0s</a></p> <p>BLTouch Home &amp; AutoLevelling Classic (White colour)</p> <p><a href="https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/bltouch-auto-bed-leveling-sensor-for-3d-printers">https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/bltouch-auto-bed-leveling-sensor-for-3d-printers</a>#/</p> <p>BLTouch is an auto leveling sensor for 3D Printers based on open-source. It could work with any kinds of bed materials, such as glasses, woods, metals, and so on.</p> <p>I has:-</p> <p>Self-test : The push pin operates itself three times to test when the power is on.</p> <p>Alarm : The LED light blinks if a problem found on a self-test or on an operation.</p> <p>BLTouch consists of Atmel ATtiny13A, solenoid, and a push pin.</p> <p>High-precision Type Sensor : Using Hall Effect</p> <p>➡ Not optical, either proximity(inductive or capacitive) one. The BLTouch needs to be set at 8.3mm (+/-0.2) above the nozzle. I believe the newer Smart BL Touch has a 8.5mm distance, from shoulder to tip of probe.</p> <p>This simple 3D Printable gauge should help you achieve this.</p> <p>Remember that this BLTouch gauge block will need to be set onto a sheet of paper, (the distance of the nozzle tip above the print bed.</p> <p>I do not own or have a BLTouch so I have not been able to test this BLTouch gauge block in a real world situation.</p> <p>20% infill is OK with 4 layers top to prevent any infill bumps passing through to the top surface.</p> <p>A light sanding to smooth the top could help, but keep checking the height of the BLTouch gauge block.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong></p> <p>Protomaker Black Sprint Original 3D Printer</p> <p class="detail-setting rafts"><strong>Rafts: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Supports:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting resolution"><strong>Resolution: </strong> <div><p>0.2 or better</p></div> <p><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>20%</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>4 Layers on the top</p> Untested in the real world. <h3>Post-Printing</h3> <p><strong>Light sanding to smooth surfaces</strong></p> <p>Light sanding to smooth surfaces</p> <p>Keep a checking on the height of the BLTouch gauge block it should be 8.3mm (+/-0.2)</p> <h3>How I Designed This</h3> <p><strong>TinkerCAD</strong></p> <p>I used TinkerCAD</p> <h3>Custom Section</h3> <p><strong>Allow for height of the nozzle from the print bed</strong></p> <p>Remember that this BLTouch gauge block will need to be set onto a sheet of paper, (the distance of the nozzle tip above the print bed.</p> </div></p></p> Category: 3D Printer Accessories
