Open Bed Leveling System (Open BLS)

thingiverse

I found myself with a bunch of time on my hands because of what is going on, after months of on and off internet research and YouTube Videos...... it is complete! I present to you Open BLS (bed leveling system) an open source bed leveling solution to fill a void (I think) in the 3D printing community. Using a octocoupler is nothing new, and boards can be imported very cheaply, however, they are often very large (by comparison) and use cheap components. Tailored solutions do exist, however the ability to purchase components individually instead of a complete package is currently not possible. The intent is not to take away from others in the 3D printing community, rather, provide another option. I have been using this system daily on two Ender 3 Pro and a CR-10 on RepRap Firmware 2 and 3 for over a year. I have tested it with Marlin, it does work, however I am huge fan of RepRap Firmware, and use RRF on all of my machines. Do have a limited quantity of both shielded and unshielded 12mm sensors, and boards if anyone is interested, available. If anyone is interested, I do have some pre-made kits available, (I had about 20 boards made from PCB Way) the intent was never get rich or anything like that. If anyone/company integrate this into their product, I only request credit. Everything will be open source and will be available for others to customize for their use case, if needed Additional hardware needed: - 4x M3 x 0.5mm x 5mm - 2x M4 x 0.7mm x 8mm - 2x M4 T-Slot Nut - 1x 5.5*2.1mm Male DC Power Plug - 2x #10 Red 22-18 AWG Ring Connector or Spade Connector (to connect to PSU)
