CNC 3018 Z Probe support

thingiverse

Here is a small bracket for CNC 3018 to bring a Z Probe plug and the spindle/laser jumper in front of the CNC. Having a plug for Z Probe allows you to use different kinds of probes by simply plugging in the probe you need. There are left and right versions of the bracket, depending on which side you prefer to put it. This bracket can probably be used with other mini CNC machines since there is a 2020 profile up front. **Wiring** One pin of the plug needs to be connected to the GND pin and the other to the A5 pin of the motherboard. The wires should be placed in the bottom groove of the 2020 profile. You must solder wires at a right angle to the pins, not like I do / , as shown on the picture, or it will be too high. **Material needed** + 2 M3 x 6mm screws [Affiliated link](https://www.banggood.com/custlink/vmmK2kb4uK) + 2 M3 t sliding nuts [Affiliated link](https://www.banggood.com/custlink/DDDG2ks4cK) + 1 DC 5.5x2.1mm Power Socket [Affiliated link](https://www.banggood.com/custlink/DmvKqMQeyl) + 1 SPDT 2 Pins Mini toggle rocker switch [Affiliated link](https://www.banggood.com/custlink/DDG3UzQe2e) + 1 or more DC 5.5x2.1mm Male connector [Affiliated link](https://www.banggood.com/custlink/mKmmUMQghM) for Z Probe **Tips** If you need to crimp dupont connectors, there is a good tutorial on https://www.instructables.com/id/Dupont-Crimp-Tool-Tutorial/. If you need a crimping tool, use this model with SN-2 jaws (very important, other jaws will crush your connector) https://aliexpress.com/item/32827353250.html
