HCEvo Chimera Mount with 12mm Inductive Sensor

*** IMPORTANT NOTICE *** **I've discontinued working on this design due to a remix by Bitsize that has exceeded my expectations.** **Head over to Thingiverse and download his awesome design - it prints like a charm!** **2018-01-25: **I haven't forgotten about this project, just been slammed with school holidays. I'll be wrapping up the design in the next week or two. The printer I'll be using it with features Volcano hotends, so I'll create versions for both standard heatblocks and Volcanoes. Maybe one will work for both - we'll see!** **2017-12-02: **I've uploaded beta 2, which positions the mount significantly lower. The initial test design was doomed from the start, as the sensor would have been mounted too high. I still need to finalize the dimensions, so expect some further adjustments.** A Tinkercad hack project aimed at modifying einarms' Chimera mount for Hypercube Evolution to accommodate a 12mm inductive sensor. I haven't printed it yet, but it slices cleanly in Simplify3D and preview shows no issues with supports or isolated areas. I still need to ensure: * The probe and its nuts don't interfere with the Chimera or part cooling fan * The probe doesn't foul X endstop sensor wires or hotend heater/thermistor wires * The probe hole is the correct size (I've assumed 12.0mm and added 0.5mm for clearance) * There's enough "meat" around the probe hole to prevent breakage When assembling this, you'll need to install the probe before the Chimera hotend. I also plan to add more mount holes so you can install the Chimera mount in reverse - not for printing, but to access rear set screws for ensuring things are level with your bed before re-installing correctly.
