Anet A2 BLTouch Mount

thingiverse

!! IMPORTANT !! After I printed and mounted this part, I realized that this needs to be mounted on the other side of the hotend mount or the home position will place it off the print surface and it will bottom out your hotend. It should fit on the other side with only minor dremel work to cut a small notch in the vertical support. I have uploaded a "fixed" file (it's the one labeled "right side"). Simple BLTouch Sensor mount for Anet A2 printers. Compatible with part cooler (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2197963). Print at 20% infill since there shouldn't be any weight or stress on the mount other than the weight of the touch sensor itself. The "springs" version is 2mm shorter which -may- accommodate the springs if you wish to use them. I'd rather rigid mount the sensor so there is less play in the mounting. I will subtract 6mm from the height to better accommodate the 8mm springs and upload it here if anyone requests it. There are instructions on how to get a BLTouch working with the Anet A8 here (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2091529) and they should work with the A2 as well with minor changes, however I have not attempted this as I've opted to completely swap out the A2 board with a RAMPS 1.4 board. So use those instructions at your own peril. If you would like the .fcstd files for any of my designs, just let me know. I'm happy to give them out.
