Adjustable DC42 Mini Differential IR Height Sensor BLTouch adapter mount

thingiverse

I designed this little <b>adjustable</b> adapter plate to mount my DC42 Mini height sensor board to my E3D X-axis Carriage where the BLTouch would normally be installed. This works out great as the large hole allows a screwdriver to be inserted to raise and lower the sensor. I couldn't find any mounts for this board that allowed for adjustment and fiddling with the Z-Axis Offset can be a real pain. It is also designed to protect the sensor from the majority of filament disasters as the board as mounted facing away from the extruder. The Mount (included) has been remixed from this design as I lost ~20mm on the left due to my X-axis endstop being too far over. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2170721 Other hardware required: 1 X <a href="https://www.filastruder.com/collections/electronics/products/mini-differential-ir-height-sensor">MINI DIFFERENTIAL IR HEIGHT SENSOR</a> 3 X M3 hex nuts 2 X M3 x 10mm hex bolts 1 X M3 x ~25mm hex bolt (+/- 5mm) 1 X M3 washer (optional) 1 X 5mm OD / 3.3mm ID x 15mm spring (spare bed spring)
