BLTouch Sensor Mount - Geeetech Rostock 301

thingiverse

Here's a BLTouch Sensor Mount for a Geeetech Rostock 301 mixing printer. The default GTM32 controller lacks auto leveling capabilities, but other controllers offer this feature. I upgraded my 301 with Duet WiFi/Duex 5 electronics and a BLTouch sensor to achieve a delta diamond hot end printer with auto-leveling. The mount is installed at the rear of the effector. For reference, the probe tip is located at an offset of X=0.00, Y=-45.50, and Z=0.30 from the nozzle. Your Z will vary depending on your setup. I've included my config.g, bed.g, and system macros for deploying, retracting, and resetting the BLTouch sensor for reference if you're using Duet electronics. You can find the Duet WiFi and its distributors at http://www.duet3d.com Update 9-28-17: I created Duet macros for the BLTouch sensor to aid in the printer calibration process. These macros are now available online. Update 10-18-17: Version 2 of the mount has been uploaded, featuring several improvements. First, improved airflow around the heatsink closest to the probe while maintaining good rigidity in the mount. Second, a small slit in the wire retainer allows for easy installation and removal without disconnecting wires from the BLTouch sensor. Finally, I've discovered Hatchbox Carbon Fiber PLA as an ideal filament for this type of mount. Happy Printing!
