v400 Beacon/Cartographer ABL Mount

UPDATE 4/5/24: Added another model for use with factory square-style flsun hot ends as the original model was made with the triangle labs hot end.

UPDATE 1/26/24: I believe this will also be fully compatible with Cartography sensors as well. More to come.

UPDATE 1/11/24: I've revised the mount slightly to improve the height and strength. I'll also include my current config/macro info. Please feel free to comment with your changes to the config to improve everyone's experience. Please note that my config/macros are included for reference and should not be used as a replacement for their own due diligence. RevH beacon.py file will likely be the next update.

Huge thanks to Kazolar for the help with beacon.py, klipper config, and macros. 

You will need to SSH in and replace the default beacon.py with the one included below. You only need to apply config/macro changes that apply to your printer.

This mount allows you to replace the factory touch sensor with a Beacon ABL. This is currently a prototype. Designed for use with the 90 degree mount however it appears that any of the hardware configurations will work (rev D or H). This should work with factory and aftermarket hot ends as well as factory and ‘improved’ fan ducts.

Please comment with any recommendations or input on working with Beacon ABL for myself and others.

Recommended: Print with something heat resistant enough to live near your hot end. (PLA+ prototypes melted, PETG has held on but once the design is finalized I'll use nylon)
