FreeABL - the ultra cheap (free) ABL for Ender 3 by stevehen
Didn't like the stability and moving the switch and risking the switch to damage.
so...
Modified Zizicek's model to improve a couple of things:
Raised allen key rest height to limit travel of allen key after probing
Added rib to allen key rest to keep allen key from getting behind switch
Added cover for micro switch
Lowered stowed position some to reduce part footprint and allow allen key to be stowed and engaged by grabbing the bottom of the allen key
Added fillets and cosmetic improvements
Increased allen key hole size a little for smoother operation
All in all I'm pleased with the improvements. The cover doesn't stay snapped on quite as good as I would like but I don't think it will fall off. A small drop of CA glue could keep it in place if you are concerned.
Engaging the allen requires a little finesse to get it under the metal lever but it isn't hard. Suppose the rest could be lowered a little to improve this but I like it the way it is.
