Capacitive Sensor Prusa i3 Hephestos

thingiverse

Capacitive Sensor Mount Designed Specifically For The Prusa I3 Hephestos. Works Potentially With Other Prusa I3 Models, But Has Been Thoroughly Tested Only On The Hephestos Model. Should Be Printed In ABS Due To Extruder Temperature Requirements, However, It Was Successfully Printed In PLA And Functions Fine, Presumably Because Air Flow Helps Keep It Cool. The Capacitive Sensor Is A Chinese 8-Dollar Model That Requires 12V Input And Provides 6V Output, Therefore No Voltage Divider Is Necessary, And The Hole Measures Approximately 20mm. If It Feels Loosely Fitted, Tighten It Up Using The Nuts And Washers Provided With The Sensor. If You Have Any Questions Or Doubts Concerning The Installation Of A Capacitive Sensor On A Prusa I3 Equipped With Ramps 1.4 And Marlin Firmware, Feel Free To Ask, Alternatively, Email Me At Zimzf23@gmail.com For Assistance. Unfortunately, Meshlab Converted The Measures From Millimeters To Inches, Which Requires Scaling Or Exporting A New .STL File From The Original .DAE Or .SKP Model, If Using Simplify3D, It Automatically Scales The Object.
