UPDATE 05/22/2024:

V2.0 is out!

I've found out v1 fails and cracks on the right fan heat-insert probably due to homing impact.

So, I made the entire mount part thicker, simpler and much more resistent.

The probe is screwed in from the inside, right adjacent to the FAN, so we've gained 1.5-2.0 mm of travel on the x-axis in comparison to v1.

Also, I removed the heat-inserts for the hotend, it's best to use M3 nuts.

Added a heat-insert for the probe at the precise location it's 2 mm from the tip of the nozzle.

Updated BOM:

7x M3x5x4 mm heat-inserts.

2x M3 hex-nuts

M3 bolts of various sizes

Tiny inductive probe (see below).

3010 FAN for the hotend

Version 1.0 is here!

I've built my Rook MK1 and I love it very much, but I missed an ABL Probe.

Rookey won't fit a ABL probe and Sentinel is too big for my printer.

So I designed this simple and small toolhead that fits an inductive ABL probe.

You'll need 8x M3x5 heat inserts and M3 bolts.

A small (about 10 mm) bowden tube  from the extruder to the hotend works wonders!

It's direct drive and HGX lite extruder compatible.

It has no part cooling fan, so you'll need to add side auxilliary fans.

It's design for the cheapo bambu clone hotend and works great with a CHT 0.4 mm nozzle.

My actual print area is 113 x 112 mm which is the same on x and 6 mm larger on the y if when compared to the Rookery.

You might lose some z height, my Rook is tall, so I still have 197 mm on z.

Print with supports and auto-orientation. Voron settings are fine.
