OBSOLETE - Hypercube Evolution Capacitive ABL

thingiverse

UPDATE 12/21/2018: THIS DESIGN IS NOW OBSOLETE. Please see https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3303380 for the latest iteration of the Hot End Mount. This design can still be used if you are ok with a reduction of 10 mm on the max end of X travel. ------------------------------- UPDATE 10/23/2018: Modified Hotend Mount: - Changed shape/location of cutouts for 5015 fan mount so fan can actually sit level with the mounting hole on top - Realigned cutout for Heatsink to match Retainer (see second pic) Updated Fusion 360 and STL files uploaded. ---------------------------------------------- Hey everyone! I am in the process of building a Hypercube Evolution of my own and I prefer to use glass on my heated bed (for good print quality and protecting the aluminum underneath). The inductive sensor that the current hotend mount is designed for, cannot sense the bed through the glass as it has a relatively low trigger distance and cannot sense through glass. My CR-10 uses the TH3D EZABL system (which I love, btw) and I figured I would remix the hotend mount from the original Hypercube Evolution to fit the TH3D EZABL or any M18 Capacitive Proximity Sensor with at least a 5 mm trigger distance. In order to add an M18 sensor holder, I had to remove the X Max Endstop (I use only the X Min endstop and that works just fine as the bed dimensions are specified in Marlin to prevent over travel). To mount the sensor to the hotend assembly, use 2 M3 x 6mm socket head screws (Needs 2 threaded inserts in the hotend mount) I have also included the Fusion 360 files if you're interested in making mounts for other types of leveling sensors. Probe offsets: X: 34.50 Y: 0 Note: If you buy your own capacitive sensor instead of the TH3D EZABL, then you will have to make sure it's a 5V sensor or build a voltage divider to drop the output voltage of the sensor to 5V. Enjoy!
