Anet A6 + 3D BLTouch Brace

thingiverse

Hey guys, It seems that the new Anet A6s have two mount screw holes in front for the other auto-level sensor. As such, I made this mount to allow the 3d BLTouch that I purchased to use the mount. Steps: 1. Install 3d BL Touch with mount provided 2. Create the wiring harness. I purchased 2.54mm Dupont Connector Kit, a JST-XHP connector kit, and a Dupont Crimp tool for the job. I'll post some pictures of the final product later. 3. Strip pin 3 on the LCD connector and add a pin to it. This is for the LCD with the 5 buttons on the right (Zonestar LCD) only. See attached pic. Other LCDs use different pins. Check out the documentation in pins_ANET_10.h) 4. Connect it all up. Note that I didn't Y the two grounds together, but instead used a GND pin (pin 8) on the free/open LCD connector on the mainboard. 5. Reload Marlin with the following settings. Original work goes to https://www.thingiverse.com/ithinuel and his Anet mount https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2451350. Also https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2091529 has some great comments on the steps you can take. Tested on Marlin 1.1.9 ``` #define BLTOUCH #define X_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER 0 #define Y_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER -57 #define Z_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER -1.90 #define AUTO_BED_LEVELING_LINEAR // I hear bilinear is better. Haven't tried yet #define LEFT_PROBE_BED_POSITION 20 #define RIGHT_PROBE_BED_POSITION 190 #define FRONT_PROBE_BED_POSITION 20 #define BACK_PROBE_BED_POSITION 150 #define LCD_BED_LEVELING ``` Then test!
