The next iteration of this thingy is available here. Not sure if you can see it since it won't list in the "My Designs" collection...
Prologue
I badly needed a replacement for my inductive Z-Probe because inductance and a magnetic bed don't go well together.
So, quite a while, I was eyeing the BFP-Touch project from Bruno Porto but, same as with the original BLTouch, it was simply too big for my needs.
So I've decided to make my own version, which you can see here in action. In the first picture above, you'll see a size comparison between the Tiny-Touch, the Z-Probe I've used recently (left) and a standard LJ12A3-4-Z/BX inductive sensor (right).
Although I myself wouldn't consider this thingy a "Remix", most (if not all) of the credit goes to Bruno and all the other guys who paved the way for this project.
Special credit goes to Orcy Wagh, who created the servo model over on Grabcad.
What is different?
In contrast to the BFPTouch, this thingy uses a nano sized linear servo to release…
