WARNING! Do not install this on a stock MakerBot Replicator! I have modified my machine and am no longer using the MightyBoard! I'm using a Creality 4.2.7 Board which supports this sensor.
If you use this on the stock setup you can break your printer, since this increases the width of the Extruder assembly. Keep this in mind if you also have a modified machine!
Furthermore the stock MightyBoard can't even do anything with this sensor, so there is no real reason to add it, unless your machine is using a different motherboard!
Since Ive rebuilt my MakerBot Replicator 2 using a Creality 4.2.7 Board, I wanted to add the possibility for automatic bed leveling.
This thing allows you to attach a BLTouch or 3D Touch to the extruder assembly.
You may need to remove the existing fan cover and glue the air vent into the fan, because the screws could be too short.
The Sensor gets mounted from the top and can be adjusted in height by using washers, to make sure there is enough clea
