IR-Diff-Sensor-Module

thingiverse

This is a simple yet effective mount for the mini height ir sensor that uses differential measuring to work with all sorts of heatbed surfaces. The mount is meant to be super-glued below the j-frame of the Anet A8, with the lower part of the pcb about 1.5 mm above the nozzel. The sensor itself can be attached using the two screws provided in the kit. I found that the 2.5 mm diameter holes are tight enough to fit with the delivered machine screws and can be secured with nuts if desired. There are two versions available: One is a solid mount with a height of 5.5 mm, suitable for stock Anet A8 setups. The Fusion 360 project file for this version can easily be modified to different heights. The second version is an adjustable mount that I used to find the best height for my setup, but ultimately decided on the solid one.
