Upgrade your Prusa Mini to become able to print nonplanar models

To print nonplanar models, the nozzle needs as much clearance as possible. One of the biggest problems regarding the clearance is the probe, which is just litte higher than the nozzle. This modification lets you lift the probe, which snaps magnetically into one of the two positions. It is designed to use the Mini with the E3D Revo belt nozzle (you need the Mini Revo mod (https://www.printables.com/model/151007-prusa-mini-upgrade-edition-2-revo-micro)).

The model is designed, that you can use it with a normal Revo nozzle and the 5.5 mm longer Revo belt nozzle. If you change the nozzle, you just turn the slider 180° and the probe is positioned 5.5 mm lower. Although the change can normally be done without a new calibration, I recommend doing the first layer of calibration after the swap.

The build should be more or less self-explanatory. If the slider does not slide well, the extrusions multiplier may to be adjusted in the slicer. You will need 8 magnets with 6 mm diameter and a height of 2 mm. And two additional M3 screws and bolts. The lower screw fixes the probe in the holder (so that it doesn't move, when you turn the slider) and the upper screw fixes the holder to the slider. There is a positioning system to keep the position and angle of the holder towards the slider.
