Sensor mount DC42 Differential IR sensor Smartrapcore & Alu for default E3D v5/clone hotend

thingiverse

This mount replaces the inductive z-probe mount, and is a direct fit in its place, it allows attachment of a DC42/Escher 3D differential IR sensor. It is height adjustable. The IR sensor kit comes with 2 small m2.5 bolts, but no nuts, so I've made a little backing plate which has holes correct for these two nuts to self tap. This allows the sensor to be slid up and down to achieve a good nozzle to bed distance with probe triggered. In the image I've used a couple of nylon m3 nuts I had lying around as spacers, but some tiny 3d printed spacers would work also. UPDATE: added a longer version useful for E3D volcano hot end and other longer hot ends but should work with shorter ones too. Print Settings Notes: Close proximity to hot end so use ABS or other higher temperature polymer.
