This is a mount for the FT-6 Dual Extruder version. This allows you to mount an 18mm prox to the existing mounting holes for the bed level sensor. The sensor I used is this one from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FZVKEAU/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_Yx3kEbQBN923B.
It is an 18mm round PNP Inductive Proximity Sensor that has an 8mm sensing range.
Note: The rated range of the sensor is based on ferric (iron) surfaces. An aluminum surface will only get you ~40% of that range. This sensor will work just fine with a piece of 3/32 in. plate glass on the aluminum bed. The sensor was provided with 24VDC, if you are using a lower voltage, results may vary.
