BLTouch Auto Bed Leveling Sensor Mount

thingiverse

I got tired of printing new mounts for my BLTouch Smart in an effort to get it dialed in just the way I wanted it. I decided to make an adapter for the HicTop Prusa i3 Auto Bed Leveling Sensor Mount to allow use with the BLTouch. I now have the adjust-ability I was looking for in a very solid mount. I am thinking about making a new slide for this sensor mounting system to bring the BLTouch a few mm closer to the carriage. The Y axis offset is currently 68mm and no X axis offset. This is an additon to Henry Arnold's HicTop Prusa i3 Auto Bed Leveling Sensor Mount thing number 1258415. 2017-07-24 Update: I added two new .stl files for the remixed bearing block mount and a new BLTouch sliding mount. I combined the original sliding base and bearing block mount into a one piece unit that brings the slide closer to the bearing block mount. I also made a new BLTouch sliding mount that will work with either the BLTouch classic or BLToush Smart sensors. Overall this brings the sensor closer to the bearing block and reduces the Y offset by 9mm. There are also now two photos showing the orientation of the parts on the build surface for printing. The sliding mount will require supports. Your printer should be reasonably calibrated or at least very consistent in print sizes. These two new parts should be used together. When you print the parts make sure to orient them the same for both parts. In both screen shots the front of the bed is toward the left. They are sized for an m3 x 30mm screw for the adjustment screw and m4 x 6mm or m4 x 8mm screws for mounting to the bearing block. You will need to thread the holes in the lower bearing block.
