For all who want level on glass

Arrrrghhhhhhh!!!

Yesterday I killed my 3D Head!! But…

All from beginning…

Somehow the Sensor caught a clamp that i have used to hold the glasbed down. Its broken.
I opend the Printhed an removed the sensor and opend the defektiv Sensor carefully.
I found a little coil at the bottom of the part and the connection to the pcb were destroyd.
The lines were apox. 1/100 mm very very thin. I was unable to solder them to the pcb again.
But I noticed by the way the red LED lights in the sensor went up when I short the two contacts.

I tought by myself hmm… could a little switch do the job?

and I slegehammer engineerd this:

and belive it or not - IT WORKS!!!

@brent113 Its not so precise as FiFix so 1 or 2 or 3 1/00mm but its only an old PC-Powerswitch

Now I must find a way to make it nice and clean and praktikable.

Its like a little BTouch but you must lift it manualy at the begin and the end of levelig like my FiFix

But nevertheless I think I will order a new printhead this days.

Keep alive and kicking!
