BLTOUCH Holder for Folger Tech FT-5

thingiverse

I took the BLTOUCH holder for the FT 2020 i3 and mated it with the cooling block spacer to make a holder for the FT-5 since there didn't seem to be one for the stock hot end. I couldn't use the one for the 2020 i3 because the cooling block doesn't extend out the left side on the FT-5. There are two versions. The #2 version is 2mm lower than #3. I raised the heat break tube above the top of the cooling block to get it closer to the output of the extruder. This makes it easier to feed in new filament and also reduces the chances of a jam above the cooling block. That meant I needed version #3. You might, depending on your situation, need to add spacers to lower the BLTOUCH to get the up and down positions correct. My offsets work out to -27 X and 27 Y. Z FOR ME is 1.05 but it depends on how you assembled your hotend. The only thing different that I might suggest is to MIRROR it in your slicer so that the BLTOUCH is on the other side and away from the cable chain. I'll do that eventually too, when I have a chance.
