Yes. Just like that one lol I wish I had seen this before. I made mine from another one that Idanut had made with a servo.by duranza - Smart_Rap
it uses a spring on the back of the slide. It moves the magnet forward when it homes out. I'll make another video tomorrow while triggering it by hand to show how it works better.by duranza - Smart_Rap
Here are the files. You would need an 1/8 diameter steel rod 43mm in length and a 3/16 wide x 1/16 thick bar magnet. A spring or rubber band to retract the slider. And of course an optical sensorby duranza - Smart_Rap
I have an optical switch, but can be used with a hall sensor tooby duranza - Smart_Rap
magnetic retract z probeby duranza - Smart_Rap
I made a new z probe with a magnetic retract that fits the smartrap and could be adapted to others. I can post it if interested.by duranza - Smart_Rap
I have been away for a while and wanted to see if there are any still using the original smartrap.by duranza - Smart_Rap
You can drill out or use a lighter to gently heat up the plastic so it will expand. If not the plastic layers will separateby duranza - Smart_Rap
I used a 9g on mine. Just had to file down the wings on the servo where you bolt it downby duranza - Smart_Rap
Quotedaveb693 could i use 9g servo like be used That will fit just fineby duranza - Smart_Rap
Maybe this picture might explain it better.by duranza - Smart_Rap
The one RcJoseb is using looks like it gives good clearance. Looking at the bearing supports, can you try and see if you can switch the parts around? Like the right to the left and the left to the right? I don't know if there would be enough space to to that, but if there is, this will move the bearings out more to give clearance.by duranza - Smart_Rap
Also, why aren't you guys mounting your limit switches to a non moving part? Like the back left corner block? All you would need to do is tell marlin to always home Y first, then X, then Z. This avoids having wires moving around.by duranza - Smart_Rap
looks like your gt2 pinion is too small. You might have to print the latest version of the back bearing and rod holder. Serge switched it to be clamped to the side panels and it helps with the belt routingby duranza - Smart_Rap
You can use some zip ties to get you by without having to modify/re-print the partby duranza - Smart_Rap
If the nozzle size is correct and the e-steps are too, then there should not be any gaps on top and bottom layers. Maybe you are printing too hot and too fast. You can tell one axis is skipping because of the steps/ slanting you see on your prints. This might be caused by either your z offset being too low and the print head drags on the bed. This causes friction and overloads the driver makingby duranza - Smart_Rap
Looks like one of your axis is skipping steps. Also, either you are under extruding (Extruder steps not correct) or your nozzle size is not correct when slicing ( Your fill is not complete)by duranza - Smart_Rap
It will show the size on the renderby duranza - Smart_Rap

3-1 oil might also be known as sewing machine oilby duranza - Smart_Rap
The mechanical switch must be normally closed. Use the 2 outside wires. For the sensor use the 5V from the arduinoby duranza - Smart_Rap
Zlob, If you can find a source for old flatbed scanners or copiers locally you can get the steppers and some rods from them. I did that for my smartrap.by duranza - Smart_Rap
That explains it.. I might have to do that, because I have to keep a fan on mine at the moment. Thank you sirby duranza - Smart_Rap
Hey Mike, why did you replace the mosfet on the ramps? The reason I ask, I just installed a heated bed and my fet gets really really hot. I don't know if this is normal.by duranza - Smart_Rap
Anyone using opto switches with their smartrap? I'm trying to use one I pulled from a printer with my ramp 1.4 boardby duranza - Smart_Rap
Thank you guys. My slide system while it works good. It is not as sturdy as this..by duranza - Smart_Rap
Are the files for this mod posted anywhere? Thanks, Jonathanby duranza - Smart_Rap
I have been thinking on a boxed printer for a while now. This looks good to tryby duranza - Smart_Rap
QuoteZeAllan Hi, I'm not entirely sure about the problem, but I think I've been fighting the very same problem today. It seems that Z_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER_DELTA_X might be the source of this behaviour. As far as I can determine, it tells the firmware how much further down the probing is pushing the outer side of the bed before activating the endstop, because of the the way the bed is betteby duranza - Smart_Rap
No.. You have to play around with it. It compensates for the glass, rods flex when probing.by duranza - Smart_Rap
