Athorbot Brother Buddy Fan Inductor Mount

thingiverse

Athorbot sells a 4mm rectangle inductive probe and mount but I needed n 10mm probe for auto leveling since I have a glass bed. I've added a mount to the stock filament blower. No extra hardware is needed for version 1. Version 2 I lowered the sensor mount. It was a little high on the threads. I also increased the thickness a little. It is nice and sturdy now. The original is a little flimsy. You will need mounting bolts 5mm longer than the stock bolt. Warning After installing the sensor, I discovered that Athorbot does not allow access to it's configuration file. If you decide to use a sensor mount like this which has the sensor in a position other than directly behind the nozzle (where Athorbot sells a 4mm probe and mount to be placed), you must make sure your original z switch is still being used along with the probe. A sensor mounted on either side of the part fan will miss some of the probing points and Athorbot does not allow software setting changes to define the new sensor position. The probe works and I have several mm of space between it and the bed even with glass.
