3D Touch Cover / Protector by BD0G

Last crawled date: 3 years, 4 months ago

Cover for the knock off BL Touch bed leveling sensor known as the 3D Touch. I searched for an appropriate cover and tried printing multiple iterations of the covers created for the Original BL Touch Bed Leveling Sensor and did not find any that fit properly.
This cover accomplishes 2 things .

It covers the outside of the 3D Touch sensor without interfering with its ability to probe the print bed and allows one to color coordinate thier printer parts. I was going for an all black theme on my Creality CR10.

It protects the probe tip of the 3 D Touch Sensor when in the retracted position so that as the print head moves it does not catch the tip of the probe on a 3 D printed item inadvertently.
There is a small vertical rectangular window on the front so that one can still visually see the color of the LED lights within the probe when it is bed leveling. I can make the window larger or remove it all together if there is interest. I made it this size to allow a viewport while also not having to worry about printing supports for the top portion of the window. Printers can bridge this small gap without needing any support.
Additionally , I created this so as to not need any support at all when printing. The other designs for the BL Touch did require turning support material on.
