INDUCTIVE SENSOR RACK AND PINION V1 - DRAKON EXTRUDER BODY

THIS IS A MANUAL ADJUST SENSOR CARRIAGE FOR AUTOMATIC BED LEVELING.

-THE MAIN PROBLEM I HAVE WITH AUTO LEVELING WAS THAT SOME TIMES MY BED (MADE OF 3MM PLYWOOD) WOULD POSSIBLY WARP.

-ANOTHER POSSIBILITY IS THAT MY X-AXIS WOULD FLOAT OFF OF THE LEAD SCREW A LITTLE BIT IF I DIDN'T PRE-HEAT BEFORE I AUTO LEVELED.

-THIS ALWAYS MEANT I HAD TO REDO ALL THE ADJUSTMENTS BETWEEN THE X-AXIS AND THE SENSOR HEIGHT. I ALSO NEVER QUITE LIKED THE ADJUSTMENTS IN AVAILABLE IN THE FIRMWARE REGARDING SENSOR HEIGHT.

-THAT IS POINT OF THE RACK AND PINION CARRIAGE FOR THE SENSOR. TO DECREASE TIME SPENT ADJUSTING ANYTHING MECHANICALLY AND IN THE FIRMWARE/SOFTWARE.

-DECREASING THE WEIGHT AND SIZE WAS ALSO MY GOAL, TRYING TO KEEP THE SENSOR AS CLOSE TO THE NOZZLE AS POSSIBLE.
