Description

Inspired by this design by Koen Vanduffel:
https://github.com/KoenVanduffel/CR-6_Strain_Gauge_Mounts/tree/main/Daughterboard%20mount

This one bends around the X-motor pulley drive case, with space to clear a supplementary cover if fitted. You can get your wrench onto both mounting screws without having to disassemble anything else first.

TIP: Best to unplug the gauge before unmounting this bracket and plug it back in after re-mounting it, to avoid putting strain on the gauge wires under that glue on the plate. All other connectors can be attached to the board, and the board attached to the bracket, before installing the bracket to the carriage plate.

This bracket screws to the carriage plate, using the same screws that hold the daughterboard in its original position.
The daughterboard and its plastic case can be installed on this bracket using two M3x12mm screws and two 3mm nuts.

NOTE: Once installed, the LED is well clear of the bed, but is no longer oriented to shine light onto the model under the nozzle. I plan to design an alternative solution for reorienting the OEM LED, some day. If/when I do, I will update this entry to point to it.

I have uploaded the .f3d file here, in case anyone would like to edit it further.
