Any chance of getting the stl files for the two parts ? I would like to print them in white petg before I mount them .

I have this working ...needs a little more tweaking...but is functional. I will post a really poor video as soon as it finishes uploading.

Cool. Can you tell if it's really working? Misalign your bed on purpose and run a print!

You can watch the z stage adjust as it travels across the bed ! It does work like a charm ! :D This is with the newest marlin and arduino. :D I still have a few things to tweak yet but this looks really promising.

Cool man. Can you post the values you used in the config for the sensor points.

While I've only had my m2 for roughly a week now, it's safe to say I haven't quite mastered the hardware. What I can say is I suck at leveling. I'm sure it doesn't help that the m2 has made the trip back and forth to work with me just about every day. Is at least functional to the point this would be worth trying out? Either way, it's only 25 and saves me from having to cobble together the resistors on the sensor myself.

The hardest part was modifying the firmware. I still need to tweak a few things on that part and I will post the zip here when it is done . It is definitely usable and working . I need to change the probe spots slightly. The extruder fan works with auto cooling values but I lost my bed cooling fan. I need to figure that one out.The start script is not quite right and print starting is slightly off center. All fixable just need the time to do it .z probe offset x 40 y 0 z 0

Did you end up needing to add the resistors. I assumed not because the cable was already terminated but I have finally gotten the sensor mounted and am at the point where I need to worry about that kind of thing.
