If you are I will gladly pay you for three or six:). things do break after all.
Are you talking 3d printed parts? If so, I can print them. I don’t have my machine set up yet to fashion my own design so I would need a Fusion model, print file, or detailed specs. Happy to do it though.

thank you Steve but I do not yet have any of those things lol.
No worries. Maybe someone else does and can post them.
I have a mill and a lathe so I may try making a few from aluminum someday.

I haven’t had a issue with any of my sensors to date, but just for fun this morning I designed one up based on the XY Sensor on my Gen 1.
Looking at the pictures of the Gen 2 I suspect that they use the exact same sensor, but it’s hard to tell, perhaps @OnefinityCNC can chime in and let us know if the sensors are common between generations?
@sbetts I’m attaching, along with the photos, the 3D printer and Fusion files. If the Gen1 and Gen2 sensors are indeed common you can use the Fusion file to design your own setup if you like. I didn’t redraw the sensor exactly, but it’s so close (I bet I’m within a 10th of a millimeter or so), it should make a good starting point for anyone who wants to play around.

Below is the 3D Printer file, I had to zip it, for some reason the forum would not let me upload the raw file, but I doubt that’ll be an issue for anyone.

Very nice! I have asked the question a few time, but maybe someone in in this thread can give some insight, or maybe @OnefinityCNC can. Why no adjustment on the homing sensors so we can fine tune square with auto squaring. Seems pretty common now days. I get wanting to be mechanically ask square as possible, but if someone if a few thou out, being able to adjust homing sensor would be great.

Wanted to check in here and thank you for posting this print file. I can confirm it fits Gen 2 machines like a charm.
My machine is located under a skylight so gets soaked in UV a lot during the day. Malfunctioning homing sensors have been hugely problematic for me, for some reason hitting a fever pitch right after the latest Redline update…
It seems rather insane that 1F is not more on top of this. This is something customers have been struggling with for 2 years and have been forced to come up with the self help, 3D printer solutions to solve it. But new customers must go through the frustration of A) diagnosing the problem and B) sifting through the forums to discover the solution. I have communicated with 1F customer service on this and at no point did they say, “hey, there are 3D print files to solve this on the forum and here is the link, save yourself some frustration and get them printed. And now that you mention it, we are going to spend $300 on a Bambu Labs printer and start printing these for new machines at the factory”
It would be hugely helpful to the community of there were a section on this forum to collect 3D print files (with indications for machine compatibility). There are a bunch of really useful ones out there.
This message is really one of appreciation and thanks to L.M. above for sharing this very useful file. Thank you!!!

@SCSailor, Thanks for confirmation that it fits Gen-2 machines.
I think that your suggestion to @OnefinityCNC to setup a “files” section is a great one and would be a proactive step helping end users as 1F continues to refine their machines.
One of the unexpected pleasures of having a 1F machine has been the helpful kindness of folks on this forum. So many great people here who are willing to step up.
Cheers.

you are exactly right. and not only a files section but a products section what works with which models like what pieces of vacuum fit the SM dust boot and what hoses are static reduced or static dissipating. I did one like this recently for an entire dust separator setup. with links and all.
Other common problem solutions, especially for newbies, could be a huge help in lowering the frustration levels for things the veterans among us find simple to do because of experience or trial and error.

Excellent. Thank you very much.
My OneFinity is still in boxes in my living room so I can’t test for myself… yet. It looks like others have vetted the design so I’ll print some and have them ready.

I just printed one and it looks good. I’ve got a whole batch printing now. Happy to share some if you are still interested. Just let me know how many and where to send them.
