yeah good morning YouTube so I picked this up for my Taipei Machine series one Pro 3d printer
while back and I just haven't had a chance to install it but what this is is the auto
bed leveling sensor site goes on the side of the printhead and senses the distance to the metal
plate here in the in the flexplate so it goes in over on the side of the printhead because
of the way this printer is set up it has this ribbon cable I think it's about 40 conductors
in that ribbon cable all you have to do is plug this into the little circuit board on there
and all the wires are already run from the print head down to the rumba board
down below so you don't have to run any new wires through what you have to do then is
I guess this is a board that type a machine's makes they call it the e tray board so here's
where the ribbon cable comes in from the printhead and then all of the signals are
broken out here from that ribbon cable in two separate cables and then this is the
cable that runs the proximity sensor from the small board over to the rumba board
okay got the cable in here's the exp three connection right there you put the blue
wire towards the front of the printer and then the other end goes over here there's
an empty connector labeled aux so that's all the wiring that needs to be done inside the
printer it turns out that this project and this project are actually almost related to each other
because one of the things you have to do to get this sensor to work is you've got to burn a new
copy of the firmware so they've turned on in the the configuration files the settings for this so
that's automatically there but I can go turn on the settings for the LCD board at the same times
you've download the firmware and test model and that was the clue right there it's like why do
you have to bound load the arduino ide for a firmware download but they give you the full
source codes and good morning YouTube I'm getting ready to install the auto bed leveling sensor here
that's what you have to do is unscrew the fan from the bracket here and then you unscrew the
bracket from the extruder the bed level sensor bracket is screwed on to the back of the fan
bracket and then if I can get in there I'll try to get these started in there okay there we go
you tube actually what I did was I ran the fan wires between the extruder heatsink and the bed
level sensor it's that way they're way up and out of the way so actually that little sensor
bracket on there is even a better solution than my original piece of ABS that I glued on the side
yeah let me I got to move the camera out of the way so I can get in there okay I've got the bed
level sensor or the proximity sensor plugged into the back connector there I think you want to stay
on this side the X cable and I got it behind all of the other wires back there so that'll
make them easier to get out so I think that's pretty much they're the only thing I have left
to do is play with the firmware I think I'll call this good so I've got the printhead wiring done
and I've got the rhumba board wiring done and at this point I'll just leave it leave it here
and I'll wait till my spare rhumba board shows up so I can play with out a little bit get some
experience under my belt because yeah I don't want to brick the printer right now if I make
a stupid mistake so I need to get the board I ordered this and the rumble board at the same
time this came this week and I'm still waiting on the rhumba board so at all I'll get back to you
when I get some hardware to play with and we'll play with Marlin firmware which I've never never
tried before so yeah if anyone has an experience with that post up in the comment section below and
I'll put any update videos over here on the left side and as always thanks for watching
