Anet A8 Auto Levelling mount brace

thingiverse

**A brace for the stock Anet A8 bed levelling sensor mounting plate** Prevents deformation of the auto levelling mounting plate. So that the Auto levelling sensor is parallel to the heated bed. As anyone who has fitted one of these bed leveling sensors in this position will know it is all too easy to deform the mounting plate so that the sensor is no longer square to the bed. So I have created a brace that prevents the brace from deforming front to back. See the photographs for the detail of how to fit the brace. **NOTE** If you use the same flexible magnetic build plate that I do then the sensor has **NO** chance of detecting the bed before a head crash. Which will wreck the flexible bed surface. An expensive mistake to make. **SO** The answer is to put a layer of aluminum foil between the magnetic sheets for the sensor to detect. It works well enough. It is close enough to detect and thin enough not to disrupt the magnetic attraction between the flexible part and the magnetic bed.
