Kossel K800 proximity sensor bracket

thingiverse

I created this bracket for a proximity sensor with a 12mm diameter, as I was dissatisfied with the existing design. This bracket is specifically designed to fit the K800 magnetic effector, more precisely for "Kossel k800 Centre Block & Effector 12-13mm" from drtaly (a remix of Weeper's "Kossel k800 Centre Block & Effector"), but it will also accommodate other effectors with a similar shape like the kikuon K800 Effector V2 (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:829446). I aimed to design a bracket that is easy to install, unobtrusive in appearance, and allows enough space for fans and coolers to be attached to the effector. This bracket is intended to be placed opposite of the head cooling fan and features a small shield over the sensor to deflect heat blown by the cooling fan away from it. I also included a small clamp that I modeled and used to secure the hot end (E3D v6 clone) to the effector, but you can use your own metal or otherwise clamp. The effector shown in the example pictures is drtaly's excellent Kossel k800 Centre Block & Effector 12mm (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2212039).
