Sensor brackets for Z-19/23 rev 1.92

thingiverse

These compatible support brackets for EZABL 12mm, EZABL 18mm, and BLTouch autoleveling sensors work seamlessly with Creality printers' mods, specifically designed to pair perfectly with the Z-19 or Z-23 modifications. You can use these brackets alone, but they're intended to function in tandem with the aforementioned mods. To check out the design files, visit https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2911981 and https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3085235. I've extracted these brackets from their original projects and created a standalone Thing due to frequent updates requiring simultaneous uploads to both Z-19 and Z-23 projects. With my slow internet connection, this was becoming increasingly cumbersome. The current revision is 1.9, addressing issues with bracket collisions against the X-axis motor assembly and reported BLTouch height problems. Although it's puzzling that Creality didn't allow for adjustments in their design, placing all responsibility on the bracket designer, I appreciate SaskiFX contributing a modified version of my original BLtouch bracket. Please note that feedback is still pending; however, revision 1.9 should resolve the mentioned issues. If you're not using an autoleveling sensor, it's crucial to print and install the Bracket_DummyFiller thing to avoid damaging your printer due to the raised foot on the left side of the Z-19/23 by 2 mm. **Important Notice:** Although these brackets are designed for autoleveling sensors, they can be used without one. Nevertheless, you must still print and install the Bracket_DummyFiller thing to prevent damage to your printer's mechanical components. **Update Sept. 14, 2018:** Revision 1.91 was uploaded, featuring trims on the inside edge of the brackets to avoid collisions with hot end standoffs and increased subdivision for a smoother appearance. However, this update also resulted in larger STL files. **Update Sept. 15, 2018:** Revision 1.92 was uploaded, moving the hole for the wheel screw 1/2 mm down and to the right. Although I haven't tested the brackets yet, I plan to do so soon. **Update May 23, 2019:** I'm adding some information regarding EZABL sensor settings. For those using EZABL 18mm or 12mm, you'll need to enter X=47 mm and Y=12.6 mm. In contrast, BLTOUCH requires X = 43 mm and Y = 8.6 mm. Please note that these values are estimates based on visual measurements and may vary due to tolerances in my models.
