About this 3D model

UPDATE 2 Designed a folding post so your print area should be only minimally effected by this add-on. Moving the bed to the bottom deploys the post and after using the post to deploy and retract the probe, you can retract the post by pushing it up slightly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJsdiVgMl-8 UPDATE!! Changed parts so they lock more securely by moving the magnet up. I also changed my post setup so it is actually screwed into the platform, as opposed to using a binder clip. Will upload better pictures of the post (thing used to switch the probe up/down) soon. It's way more stable now, but the attachment to the print head is still not optimal. This is a Z-probe mount for ultimaker! It uses a pushbutton switch to attach your min z endstop to your head! A simple printhead motion lowers and raises the probe to allow fully automated platform sensing and printing. Never worry about getting the perfect z-height again!
