Manta BL touch / 3d Touch mount

This is a remix from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4403017


EDIT: MY HOT END HEAT BREAK HAD SHIFTED DOWN. THIS MAY NOT BE NEEDED. I WILL CHECK AND UPDATE.

The WIP BL touch did not work for me it was too short for me. As far as I am aware 3d touch that I have is a clone of the Bl touch so the Bl touch should work.

Print on the base that you would mount the touch sensor and use supports, I tried it flipped with no supports and did not like turn out.

I have printed all the Manta parts with esun pla+ 100% infill for thermal and strength reasons. I have had zero issues so far. PETG would work as well.


Do your own offset measurements, but for reference I had y= -52 and x=7

Note: the 2 little holes are for zip ties for the sensor wires, you may need to make them bigger with a soldering iron or razor.

Note 2: I used brass heat inserts and m3 16mm screws to replace the stock hardware for a better fit. the holes are sized for stock screws,
