Plenty of models around, but none that quite worked for me so made my own.

Use-case

Plenty of models around, but none that quite worked for me. It's difficult to get the positioning of the sensor just right so I made this model where you can change height and position exactly the way you want. With the arm you can move it from the edge towards the other side, just depending on what's needed. With the two nuts included with the sensor you can change the height. Tighten once installed and good to go.

It's intended use is for a WeMos D1 mini without headers where the sensor is directly soldered to the board:

Build your own

The aim was:

  • the ring should clamp to the 75mm housing so it stays fit, but can be turned

  • vertical stand can be fixed to the ring without glue or other things

  • printable on my entry level printer with standard settings

So basically I just wanted something I can securely fix in place while still having complete freedom adjusting final position.

Bill of materials:

  • one 16mm M5 screw + nut to attach arm to vertical stand

  • printer ;-)


4-2-2024: Added a 12mm arm as well by request. Have not printed it myself, but used 12.3mm diameter for tolerance.

Included an image how I printed it. I'm using PrusaSlicer with organic supports for this. Printed this in PLA with a 0.4mm nozzle and 0.20mm layer height.
