tcrt5000 infra holder - prusa i3 rework 1.5 - inductive sensor replacement

thingiverse

DOES NOT WORK STABLE THOUGH GLASS YET, DO NOT USE IT, JUST FOR TESTING. Maybe it works with an aluminium surface. 2016.09.30. I'm stuck at this position and can't set it up correctly. Feel free to share your ideas. It worked for me at the first place where I fixed it - only one screw was loose, but I could rotate it. Is that the difference? 2016.09.29. 11:25 The print is ready; check if you need to increase TcrtBoardThick to fit yours (now it's 1.5mm). I used a knife to make mine a little bigger. I don't know how it works when direct sunlight hits the bed. When calibrating, be careful not to break the glass with the wrong end stopping. Keep your finger on the reset button on ramps. This is a replacement for the inductive sensor for a Tcrt5000 infrared reflective module from eBay. Using this sensor you don't need level shifter on ramps 1.4 board; you can connect it directly to ramps board, replacing the inductive sensor. Print the holder and 2 nuts. You'll need an M3 threaded screw to hold the Tcrt5000 board in place. The work is still in progress. I've been using this sensor for a while now with another holder that's not too stable. I'm printing the 5th version of this; hope it will be perfect this time.
