Description
I have seen an excellent guide to utilize the BL Touch on my Creality CR6 SE instead of that CRAPPY nozzle sensor. I have not found a good mount, so I designed two, an initial basic design and an improved design where the BL Touch sits as near I thought I could place it from the nozzle without much issue.
Furthermore, I recommend you to use the model 'BL Touch Mount Side' as it is the best of both. This will work with most cooling ducts, but you need to keep in mind that some can interfere because of their placement. Another thing to consider is that this requires the removal of the strain gauge, as this is a complete replacement that is compatible with any heatblock that you can screw from the top, so same compatibility as the strain gauge.
This conversion DOES NOT REQUIRE A NEW BOARD BUT... IT IS ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH 4.5.2 BOARDS... FOR NOW. I need to clarify this to prevent any issues, as I am not responsible for that project. Here is the link to it: https://github.com/spamwax/CR-6-Mods/blob/main/BL%20Touch/Adding%20%22BL%20Touch%22%20as%20probe%20and%20Z%20end-stop.md
Important: 'BL Touch Mount Side - Mount for Persano Duct' does not require the spacer.
'BL Touch Mount - Mount for Persano Duct v3' utilizes the 2mm spacer, as when I designed it I miscalculated the height by a bit. As I proceeded with the other design, I just left that one like that, requiring both parts.
