Threaded 8mm Inductive Sensor Mount for 5015 Fan (Anet A8 bed leveling)

thingiverse

I built this specifically for my existing setup, which already has some components attached to the fan, but it should mount to almost any 5015 nozzle cooling fan provided there is enough space available. The threading is 18mmx1mm, which fits most 8mm inductive sensors (this one is mine http://amzn.to/2GbXWjn). It's just tight enough that you shouldn't need lock nuts on the sensor to keep it in place, making setting z-offset a breeze since you can just home the machine and thread the sensor in progressively a few times to dial it in rather than messing with firmware z offsets, etc. A video of it in action is here: https://www.instagram.com/p/BgDkcqRF71d/?taken-by=tableft_workshop I used bilinear leveling in Marlin 1.1.x and on my Anet A8 the offsets & boundaries were: #define X_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER 37 // X offset: -left +right [of the nozzle] #define Y_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER -55 // Y offset: -front +behind [the nozzle] #define Z_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER -1 // Z offset: -below +above [the nozzle] // Set the boundaries for probing (where the probe can reach). #define LEFT_PROBE_BED_POSITION 15 #define RIGHT_PROBE_BED_POSITION 180 #define FRONT_PROBE_BED_POSITION 15 #define BACK_PROBE_BED_POSITION 160
