BLTouch Mount for BQ Hephestos 2

thingiverse

This "Thing" is a BLTouch Auto Leveling Mount for the BQ Hephestos 2. Because i am NOT using the glass plate only i do not wanted to use the original leveling sensor from BQ. I use epoxy glued to the glass bed. I have had hundreds of bad tries because left and right side of the bed couldn't be calibrated good enough to not scrap with the nozzle into the bed (sometimes). I wanted something that is measuring the surface and give me a reliable mesh then. 1. I do NOT use the Marlin version of BQ. I use (at the moment) Marlin 1.1.6 with the original Heat bed from BQ mounted. 2. Because there wasn't versions of mounts i can use i remixed 2 versions found here. You can use the original screws from the front fan. If you are unsure, choose screes that are approx. 2mm longer. After some tweaking and trying to find a pwm port that is free i managed to install the BLTouch, connected the additional cables and configured the corresponding Marlin files (mainly configuration.h) It is now giving a very good first layer (have tested already with 2 prints). If you have question, do not hesitate to ask.
