This print assumes you know how an IR Sensor Probe works and how one uses it on different surfaces, and have it configured to your printer's needs. I am not liable for any damage done by this print.
This Universal IR Sensor Probe Mount is a board mount meant for this sensor board by MiscSolutions. It has been designed around a Ultimate Greg's Wade's Extruder with a J-Head MK IV-B but can be used on anything with a groove mounting system with tweaking and experimentation.
For the premade STL files, the fixed one is 50mm in length. The adjustable one has a 50mm attachment and a 30mm sensor mount. Assuming the hotend is resting on the bed, you want to get it as close to the bed as you feel comfortable with without it rubbing against the bed. The optimal level is about 1.5 to 2.5 mm away from the bed. This print may curl away from the heat, so a thicker attachment may be needed.
In the default configuration with my hotend, the board starts detecting the bed at about 1.5mm away from it.
