These are mounts for the Elegoo Mars 2 Pro to fix a wireless door sensor to the top of the printer. This will enable notifications when your print has finished and will enable automated power off using a smart plug.
Originally I thought I would use IFTTT, but the sensor I purchased doesn't work with it, although it does work via a Smart Things App to turn off the smart plug, even allows you to put a delay in before it powers off.
Having the printer switch off when a print is complete should extend the life of the printer, not leaving the fan running all night. I believe there is GCODE to power off the fan after a print is done, but I opted for full power shutdown.
The idea was not mine, the mounts however are my idea. Using the double sided 3m tape that came with the sensor is a bit of a mess and to clean up, and more permanent.
You can ask me questions over on my YouTube channel, search for Stuffimade or on instagram search for StuffimadeUK... you can always say hi, ask
