Z Axis Probe Stick

Z Axis Probe Stick

Ok, this might sound dumb, but I don't want to use a Servo for my Z probe for the Prusa i3. So I made this stick. In the end of the stick is a small hole where I glued in a small micro push-button switch. The probe attaches to the hot-end holder that mounts to the X carriage. I'm uploading the 123d design source file too. Measure the thickness of your hot-end mount (the horizontal piece) and then use the "Press-pull" to change the inner width of the F shape. More pics later....
