Z-Probe bracket for NopHead Mendel90 (diabond)

thingiverse

Human: Mount an inductive sensor inside a typical metal bed bracket to measure its Z height accurately.\nUPDATE:\nCheck out my new modification for even more precise Z-probe settings here:http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1438782\n\n \n \n Getting Started\nFirst, print the bracket, then attach the sensor by screwing it into place inside a bracket mounted in the place of your belt clamp, followed by final adjustments.\nNo hardware modifications are necessary on the printer or other equipment.\ \nPrinting Out the Bracket\nThe printed size is perfect if you use PLA; for ABS, print slightly larger to compensate for shrinkage. No supports are needed to print it out.\ \nAttaching the Sensor\nPlace one of your sensor's nuts inside the bracket by rotating it until it reaches horizontal using a screwdriver or other tool (see photos). Then attach the sensor inside the nut by screwing up carefully, making sure not to cross-thread it. Once at the correct depth, add the spring washer and bottom nut, loosely tightening them. \ \nAttaching the Bracket to Your X Carriage\nLoosen the belt tensioner and remove your existing belt clamp. Using the same bolt as before, attach this bracket over the belt like a belt clamp would do; tighten up after it's securely in place. You'll find an additional hole to secure it further back, but you can get away without using it. Re-tighten your belt using the adjuster. \ \nMaking Final Adjustments\nLower your print head until the nozzle touches the bed; then adjust the sensor height up or down until its just over 1mm from the bed surface.\nSecure the final setting by tightening the bottom lock nut.
