# Design


Since i didn't have the time/money to get a BL touch or similar, i've had to get creative and design my own Z probe with the parts i've had laying around (and you probably have too!)

The type of the switch used is a random endstop i've had, you will have to adjust the dimensions of the mounting holes to fit yours (or get me dimensions or a datasheet so i can do it to whatever you have)

The actual probe is a linear rod from a optical drive bent to fit. Butane torch required.

The mount is designed to fit on Hangtight's fan shrouds such as this one: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3466809



# Assembly


1. Print the part, then screw the switch on and insert the rod.
2. Mount the Z probe and wire it to your motherboard
3. ???
4. Profit
