RepRapPro Ormerod Proximity sensor? confused smiley
June 16, 2014 10:08PM
Hi I wanted to build myself an Ormerod printer and the only thing I need left is the proximity sensor, I can´t seem to find it anywhere I´m building it from [reprappro.com]
But in the electronics part it doesn´t show the proximity sensor or where to buy it :p, please help that's the only part I need to build it.
I don't want to buy the kit nor the printer, I have the infrastructure to build one myself I just need to know how to get/make that sensor.

Thanks again,hope your respones!!

Post some pics of your progress, every one likes seeing pics.


Proximity sensor: Attach the proximity sensor to the X carriage to the left of the hot end with 2 x M2.5x5mm cap head screws. Connect loom. NOTE: the sensor has a polarity; the order of the wires is very important. It should be as the picture; blue, black, red (or pink on some looms).
Loom length: 960mm

He wants to obtain the sensor, not be told how to install it. eye rolling smiley

I suggest you ask Ian or Jean-Marc on IRC. If the printer is open source then they shouldn't have an issue giving you the source and part number.

Hi, We can supply pretty much any part of our printers as a spare part. If there is something you want that you can't find on our webshop. just email me on the sales email - info at reprappro dot com and I can send over a quote - just need to know the parts you are after and where we would be shipping to. The Proximity sensor is £7.62 plus VAT (if applicable) and shipping.

If you want to source parts yourself, all the details are on our Github. The proximity sensor is here: [github.com]

Best wishes
Sally
