I’ve made the switch kit available for sale via ebay - magnets and prewired switch - links available at GitHub - shurushetr/awesome-snapmaker: Curated list of things that help you make something awesome with Snapmaker machines.
I run out of Garolite sheets But more will be delivered on Monday 29th. Now in black color and thicker.
hello and thanks for the nice work. im interested in using different bedsheet materials so your mod will help me a lot with it. i was wondering if i could also use a BLTouch as a sensor.
im looking for other sensors because the one you linked is not available in germany.
thank you
I’ve had a few requests from Germany to ship. Interesting enough, I have international shipping turned on
But for some reason it seems like Germany is not in the list? I need to check it. Would help if you could send me a screenshot of what you see for shipping options. Maybe in private messages.
Anyway, I will create a separate shipping option for this listing to make sure things are working worldwide.
The BLTouch and similar probes require extra signal to retract the probe, it’s a 4 wire operation if I remember right, that prohibits it’s use on Snapmaker machines, since there is no logic behind the signal and no 4th wire to use.
I am about to bite the bullet, have a question tho.
Is it really necessary to physically remove the stock probe? Can one connect the mechanical momentary switch in parallel, signal to signal and ground to ground? Obviously, there would be no V+ connection for the switch.
This way, we could still use the stock probe when using conductive bed sheets, while the klicky is retracted.
Klicky probe replaces the stock probe, by that I mean it occupies the phisical space where stock probe sits.
Ah, thank you for a quick reply. I should have scrolled the images to the end before asking.
I discovered that a dual extruder model inspired by your work has been published on Printables. I made one, and it works exceptionally well. Thank you very much.

Can’t belive it’s been sitting there since August and I didn’t notice. Huge thanks for bringing this up! Amazing!
I finally made this mod and it works fine.
I couldn’t get the same probe, but it’s working fine.
Here’s a video on YT since I can’t upload it here because of file size.
Nice! I like the shape of the slider button
What switch did you use?
Omron D2F-5L
Thanks! the one with lever. I thought using switch with lever might introduce potential error in measurements due to lever flex, but I guess it’s not that big of a deal
i had difficulties getting the same switch. the lever is removable but i thought ill better leave it there to have a little more distance between the switch and the printing bed
