You will need to print your own mounting bracket to use this sensor on your printer running an Anet mainboard-
You will also need to flash a custom firmware in order to use this sensor. i recommend skynet3d v2.3.2
in the package you will receive the sensor and the nuts and washers(pic2)
Inductive sensors although they are rated for a sensing distance of 8mm-- this is based on the distance for "mild steel" -- most 3d printer beds are made of aluminium which actually lowers this distance to about 4mm ( please be aware of this before buying)
connection couldn't be easier. (see pic 4) simply strip back some of the red wire and wrap that around the positive power terminal or find a suitable crimp.. then plug the 3 pin jst into the zmin endstop - flash and configure your firmware and your ready to enjoy all the beautiful auto leveling goodness with the reliability of 12v - no more messing about with resistors/ diodes or buying an incompatible sensor.
Full instructions on firmware flashing for anet boards and all the software needed to do so can be found on my facebook page in the latest Skynet3d Firmware download (v2.3.2) -- http://www.facebook.com/skynet3dfirmwaredevelopment
if you require any further assistance with setting up your printer or any of my mods.. please dont hesitate to ask.. ill try my best to reply promptly.. but if that isnt fast enough for you - consider joining the anet a-series Facebook group. link can be found in the top of the skynet3d instruction guide
Items will be posted by royal mail within 1 working day after i've received full payment.
thanks and happy printing
