* Does you find that the height sensing gives repeatable results once you have calibrated it?
Quote
* Do you trust it to do the z-homing, or do you still set the height manually and send G92 Z0? Do you trust it to do bed compensation?
Quote
* Does the illumination work well?
Quote
* Does the fan control work well?
Quote
* Are you satisfied with the way the various cables connect to the board, or do you think it can be improved?
Quote
* Are you satisfied with the build quality?
Quote
* Do you think your kit was good value for money? [Please say which kit it was.]
Quote
* Are there any other features that you think could be usefully added? [The new one will have a led to indicate when the hot end heater is on, and I'm open to other suggestions.]
Quote
* Did you find the assembly instructions clear? [No need to repeat issues/suggestions that you have already reported and I have corrected.]
Quote
* Are there any other ways in which you think the board could be improved, perhaps to make assembly and installation easier?

The little printed arm (in your git repo) to make the sensor work for X endstop was hitting the Z gears and stepper motor axle when z-probing (or printing the first couple of layers).

I added sensorpad-modified.scad and .stl 25 days ago to [github.com], which I think should solve the problem for most users. Let me know if you don't think that one would work for you.

I've shipped over 50 of my z-height sensor + illumination + fan control kits, and I'm close to finalizing my new design for a height sensor (see [forums.reprap.org]). Before I do that, I'd appreciate some feedback from users of my existing board. So if you bought one of my boards and have at least tried to assemble and install it, please can you provide feedback, either in this thread or by PM. You might like to consider the following when composing feedback:
* Does you find that the height sensing gives repeatable results once you have calibrated it?
Yes it's OK
* Do you trust it to do the z-homing, or do you still set the height manually and send G92 Z0? Do you trust it to do bed compensation?
with white label it's working fine...
* Does the illumination work well?
I'm not sure about the position...
* Does the fan control work well?
I put the fan always on...
* Are you satisfied with the way the various cables connect to the board, or do you think it can be improved?
my dream is to get the card with the wires soldered on board
* Are you satisfied with the build quality?
it's OK
* Do you think your kit was good value for money? [Please say which kit it was.]
for a micro-production... it's OK
* Are there any other features that you think could be usefully added? [The new one will have a led to indicate when the hot end heater is on, and I'm open to other suggestions.]
let me dream... a small cam?
* Did you find the assembly instructions clear? [No need to repeat issues/suggestions that you have already reported and I have corrected.]
well done
* Are there any other ways in which you think the board could be improved, perhaps to make assembly and installation easier?
Thanks in advance!
