Frankenstein - BLTouch rear mount - Anet A6

prusaprinters

This was a fast hack to mount the BLTouch / 3DTouch sensor in the rear of the Frankenstein. I did not want the sensor in the front for nicer look.. but there are some problems:You can not longer use the full build plate, as the mount hits the frameYou can not longer use the full building height, as the mount hits the frameThe printers dimensions can be confusing sometimesAll of this is mitigated via configuration and the printer can be used safely, but you loose some buildspace. It was just a proof of concept and it's working so far. Marlin - Configuration.h// ANET A6 with BLTouch/3D-Touch mounted in rear of Frankenstein #define NOZZLE_TO_PROBE_OFFSET { 0, 62, -1.15 } #define PROBING_MARGIN 0 // ANET A6 Frankenstein #define X_BED_SIZE 205 #define Y_BED_SIZE 200 #define X_MIN_POS 7 #define X_MAX_POS 212 #define Y_MIN_POS -6 #define Y_MAX_POS 194 #define Z_MIN_POS 0 #define Z_MAX_POS 187 #if ENABLED(Z_SAFE_HOMING) // Anet A6 with new X-Axis and defined X_HOME_POS -7, Y_HOME_POS -6 #define Z_SAFE_HOMING_X_POINT 112 // X point for Z homing #define Z_SAFE_HOMING_Y_POINT 110 // Y point for Z homing (centered to probe) #endifIt is mounted in the rear by using the two screws that connect the fan duct with the carriage. Print Settings Printer Brand: AnetPrinter: A6Rafts: NoSupports: NoResolution: 0,1 mmInfill: 20%Filament: Tinmorry PLA Plus Silk Silver Notes: Extremely easy to print.. just do it!
