This is an adjustable mount for David Crocker's mini differential IR sensor. It is attached to the front half of the clamp that is commonly used to hold an E3D V6. This makes it very easy to install without replacing other parts. I started with Tech2C's clamp found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1752766.
The screw is a 40mm bed leveling screw and knob found on Amazon: https://tinyurl.com/y9h54ha5. The spring that came with the bed leveling screw was too stiff. The spring I used is from a spring assortment pack I bought at Home Depot. I also used an M3 nut inserted into the movable part of the mount and a small washer under the knob. The screw is a little too long and might hit the wire connector on the sensor. If you use the bed leveling knob on top as I did I would suggest cutting 5mm off the screw. If you do not use the knob you might need to remove closer to 10mm. A little sanding will be needed to get the parts to slide smoothly.
The sensor is available from Filas
