Description
We use this bracket to mount the magnet sensor from the extruder head onto the frame. This lets us print with a custom heated bed more easily.
Instructions
Loosen the sensor via the whole in the side of the extruder frame with an Allen wrench. Remove the sensor, then cut and strip the wires to make them longer. Use a screw to connect the smaller hole of the bracket to a hole in the upper corner of your 3D-Touch printer. Put the sensor through the larger hole. Now all you need is to mount a magnet on the bed support below and you are ready to print!

Great idea....just made an aluminum bed (3/8" thick) perfectly flat. Can't wait to use it.
How did you remove the magnetic sensor? Seems to be right in the middle of the print head? Wanted to ask before ripping into it.
Here is a link to my blog where I explained our modifications in more detail. http://submodal.com/blog/3d-to...
If you look on the left face of the extruder you will find a hole where you can fit an Allen wrench. Use this to loosen the sensor and then it should slide right out the top.
