Aus3D IR Z-Probe v1.4 Mount for Stock Anet A8

thingiverse

This is a mount for the Aus3D Z-Probe version 1.4 (http://aus3d.com.au/ir-z-probe) for a stock Anet A8 printer. It slides down between the extruder stepper motor and is screwed on using the screws that hold the X-carriage on to the bottom linear bearing (see pictures). You will need to dismantle the X-carriage to install it. The Z-probe is attached to the right-hand side using 2 short M3 bolts and nuts, with tracks to allow the probe to be moved to the height that suits your build. The side that the probe attaches to was a little fragile in my first design but I managed to get mine working, I've since added more material to try and strengthen it a bit. Feel free to modify or change as you see fit, I've included the .blend file for anyone who wants to mess around with it, maybe you can do a better job at it than me! Bonus video of it working! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Lc1PLIHWoA
