C3D Doggo ABL Probe - A very small BLTouch-like Servo Z Prove

thingiverse

I didn't want a huge probe sitting at the hotend cooling exaust, so I did this tiny servo-actuated Z probe. I also couldn't find any probe suitable for Prusa i3 MK2 clones, so I designed a adapter as well based on original extruder-cover. I wanted it servo actuated so I could install it on any printer and anywhere around the x-carriage. It is fixed in place by one single screw, very neat I think. I doesn't require spring to deploy. The slider design is so that the servo arm "kicks" it on its way down. It is all printed, no screws, no other metal parts (except for the electronics) The design ended up looking a little like a dog, so my sister helped me with the dog lines. And so the name came right after. A video of Doggo working: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRZUZ_tz7Sc For source, please, visit our github page: https://github.com/carbon3drvd
