Offsets
X offset: 53
Y offset: -3
Z offset: measure yourself as it will be dependent on how high you have your Satsana 5015, but it was -4.5 for me.
Background
This BLTouch mount will friction fit into the existing Satsana 5015 duct without removing it from the carriage plate. The part itself is a very quick print.
I am a big fan of the original Satsana, but when the 5015 version was released, I was drawn to the better access to the top of the hotend, the opportunity to upgrade part cooling to a 5015, the adjustability, and the air baffle.
Around the same time, I bought a BLTouch and wanted to mount it. My BLTouch did not come with a steel mount, so I printed the remix with the built-in mount (4548894). Unfortunately, the mount interfered with both my X-axis endstop and the associated cover, so ended up switching back to the original Satsana 5015. At this point, I had already run the all the wiring, so I wondered if I could design something to fit the existing duct.
After working with the model, I figured I would try and design something to friction fit the existing duct and take advantage of the clever cable routing. The first two versions held the BLTouch perpendicular to the carriage plate, but I wasn't happy with how close it was to the 5015 intake and I wanted to see how much closer I could get the BLTouch to the nozzle to minimize the offsets. Version 3 rotated the mount 90 degrees and moved it in towards the nozzle. While this was successful it resulted in colliding with the outer case of the 5015 so cutouts and additional bracing were added. After further testing, I discovered the back of the mount could rub on the X-axis belt tensioner bolts so the back of the mount portion of the clip was raised, requiring supports.
Directions
You do not need to remove your Satsana 5015 from the carriage plate in order to fit or remove the clip.
Screw the BLTouch to the mount
Plug in the wires to the BLTouch
Zip tie the wires to the mount
Clip your existing cable management zip tie
Run the BLTouch wires through the existing slot for the 5015 wires
Add the BLTouch wires to the existing wiring bundle and zip tie the bundle
Slide the clip in behind the duct and fit it flush with the back of the rest of the duct. The wedge inside the wiring channel should not need to touch the zip tie around the wiring bundle.
