Hall sensor device for autoleveling

thingiverse

From years of searching, I finally found a way to create an affordable and lightweight level sensor for my printer that meets all my requirements. The idea came from http://reprap.org/wiki/CrashProbe, where a clever solution was outlined - so I put it into action at work. The results exceeded my expectations, giving me confidence in its performance. My probe is now ready to use; it has been thoroughly tested outside the printer and shows excellent repeatability. Don't worry about the technical details like mills or microns - just know that it works well. This level sensor was designed to fit the X carriage of a specific printer model, https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2254103, using the belt clamps holes. However, it's easily customizable in Tinkercad to suit any need. The core component is a Hall sensor switch from https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Hall-Sensor-Magnetic-Module-Field-Detecting-Sensor-For-Arduino-Smart-Car-FreeShipping-Dropshipping/653186357.html.
