As I had difficulties getting the supplied IR sensor to function properly I made this modification to the design by iamburny
I've made a small alteration to the one-piece fan/heatsink duct, allowing swapping the IR sensor with a microswitch. And it WORKS - I've printed the last 10 prints or so without any problems.
When homing z this mod drives the nozzle into the bed until the duct pivots and activates the ms. Homing the x axis takes advantage of the bulb present on the acryllic xrib.
Cudos also has to go to KimBrown (father of bigblue http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:448906) for giving the inspiration to use a ms.
