BLTouch Cover w/bottom light block

cults3d

Slopsjon made an excellent BLTouch cover, the best I've found: It friction fits a genuine Antclabs 1.3 perfectly, has little grooves inside to keep it from slipping, the small hole in the front lets out just enough light to let you know the status of the device without it being annoying or blinding your webcam, overall just a well thought out design for such a simple concept but I thought it was missing one thing: the bottom is completely open. This allows the red light that shines as part of the BLTouch's normal operation to reflect off the build surface which is particularly annoying if you are using glass and webcam/time-lapses. So I broke out my calipers to make sure the measurements for the hole aligned then I remixed it in Tinkercad. I made the bottom part 1.5mm thick, the probe is perfectly aligned and able to extend and retract with no issue. Note I only tested this with my 1.3, I am not sure if clones will work or if the fit is exactly the same so be sure to test it by extracting your probe manually and doing a test fit.
