Pressure switch

thingiverse

This is a on going design and will add more details shortly. This is a holder for the bear frame to an Prusa i3 to mount a pressure switch instead of using the P.I.N.D.A probe. When printing with industrial fillament at 100c air temprature the P.I.N.D.A probe goes bad really fast. Instead of using the P.I.N.D.A probe i use a pressure switch that have a normal open settings, so when activated it closes the power. I then found the 2 cables that was needed for the signal (Gonna check) and soldered it to the switch. After printing this holder you will need 2 frame screws and You will also need to drill out holes for the type of switch that you will find to have it just leveled with the top edge on the rolder. The holder is mounted on the left side just under the X-end motor part. You will need to move this carefully down and see how high the nozzle is set before moving it more.
