RepRapGuru i3 BLTouch Sensor Mount

thingiverse

Took me quite some time to come up with something that worked smoothly with my RepRap Guru i3 printer and the BLTouch sensor. All other mounts were too close to the print bed, which made them unusable for me. This mount is almost perfect when you max out the height setting. Future models will have an extra 10mm of adjustment just to make sure. Version 2 increases the adjustment range to 30mm and comes with a fan guard option as well. Version 3 is currently the best working version I've created so far. I printed it using ABS and 100% infill to give it more stability. To improve the sensor's stability, I added a couple of holes near the base of the BLTouch mount for a small ziptie to hold the sensor firmly in place. The base is also thicker, which adds to its overall rigidity. A fan guard was also included. So far, this version has proven to be more stable and produces more accurate sensor/bed leveling results compared to previous versions. --UPDATE-- I have added version 6 of the mount that I am currently using. It's a bit less bulky and allows for easier addition of a blower fan for the hotend. The mount attaches directly to the stepper motor and is secured in place with an M5 screw. I prefer it over the original design.
