RE: Bed Leveling Probe = Epic Fail
Ok Dan! Here it is. It may be a little wierdish, but I believe it will work (please feel free to give ideas and make changes to my idea, as you guys are much better at this!)

I think I explained some things good enough in the pictures, but if I forgot something or something isn't clear or you need the dimensions of a side, just ask!

Here's the Pics!

Looks like you already have 3 points holding your bed. Just gotta mod them to have height adjusters.

Actually, I need the height adjusters to be where the rails that move the effector are for a more effective adjustment, because otherwise, I couldn't adjust it to be exactly level.

One thing I forgot to say is that the first picture is of the thing from a sideview

RE: Bed Leveling Probe = Epic Fail
pictures are a little confusing, but not bad Smile

I put the holes in the meat of the plastic is that right or did you want them centered?
also wasn't sure how far in from the edge to put the side holes.

RE: Bed Leveling Probe = Epic Fail
Here is what I was imagining the 1st piece would look, except it would be longer and skinnier to fit the 3mm thick bed better.

The second piece is for a mount so that I can superglue nuts onto the middle hole and then the spring would be on top of that and then I would put the bed with the little mounts on top of that. If I am not being clear, maybe we can Skype at a time convenient for you and I might be able to explain it better. Smile

Exactly! That is just what I wanted !

I may have to give you some dimensions of the length across some places for the parts to fit acurately. I just am not sure what to give ya.

PDFs are the drawings showing dimensions, etc.
and STLs are attached. Don't hesitate to ask if you want to make a change
