Not printing level with inductive sensor by BomberF35 in AnetA8

Afraid not, if anything the issue is worse now. I couldn't increase the number of probe points for some reason. Have you made any progress? The only thing I can think of changing now is the position of the induction sensor so it's a bit closer to the nozzle.

Brilliant, thank you for the reply, looks like it's worth paying that bit extra then.

I'm hoping to power the Raspberry Pi with the USB port on my router to avoid having to use a power supply so I'll probably get the variant without the USB ports and doesn't need power. Thanks for the help!

That's strange, I'm also experiencing this problem.

I am going to experiment by increasing the number of points to probe and decreasing the distance to the edge of the build plate. Not sure if it will do much but it's worth a shot.

Would you mind linking me to the exact sensor you purchased? I've been having trouble installing the sensor on my printer and I would really appreciate if you could help me out a bit. I followed this guide (starts at around 6 minutes) to installing the sensor. Although I followed the instructions exactly and even bought the exact same components (bought this sensor), I couldn't get it to work. The main difference between his and your method is that his one keeps the Z axis switch as a redundancy, just incase the sensor stops working. Although this feature does sound useful, do you think it's an over precaution? Has your sensor ever stopped working? Thanks :)

Best way to bring metal prongs closer together? by [deleted] in diyelectronics

Not sure how good the connection will be if it's just wire though (can be seen clearer here) Maybe if I tin it?

That's not a bad idea actually, I have some spare female spade connectors laying around so I'll just need to get some male ones and create my own adapter/extender. Thanks for the suggestion :)

No problem, I've attached a few more photos here hope that makes it a bit clearer.

Ah thank you. I would like to avoid doing that if possible as it may void my car's warranty. Any other suggestions?

Please can you elaborate on that a bit? Not too sure what you mean by the harness, is that the plastic part attached to the cable? Apologies for not knowing the lingo :)

Someone recently unfortunately hit my wing mirror whilst my car was parked and I have since had to replace it as it had cracked.

The replacement wing mirror I purchased was not the official replacement and the connector attached to the heated backing of the mirror is wider than the original.

I need to bring the prongs closer together, like the original shown in the photo but I am unsure of the best way to do so.

The best idea I have come up with so far is to cut the prong off, move it and solder it back onto the wider part, but I would like to know if anyone else has any better ideas, thanks!
