one thing i was wondering about is a way to mount the sensor and a good location so that its close enough to the nozzles and not cause any issues with clearance around it. i searched all over for a printable bltouch mount for the FFCP but couldnt find one anywhere. i did however come up with my own mount for the sensor and a good location for it..(i think it is a good place at least) i will take a few photos of how i have it mounted and maybe u can let me know what ya think on it.. note that i have not yet set the height of the sensor. and the sensor needle is about 1.5 inches away from the first nozzle head.. is that to far away? thanks

stupid thing isnt uploading the pics so here r my dropbox links to the pics sorry for that.

The info I got from BLTouch recommend to position the sensor needle at least 15mm from the nozzle, that does not mean 1.5 inches (38.1mm) will not work, most likely not as effective, also the base of the sensor body needs to be 8.3mm (+/- 0.2mm) above the nozzle tip. I suggest you should make or print a block that is 8.3mm in height to be used to set the sensor height.

My plan is to remove the left extruder (I normally only use the right extruder) this will make space to mount the sensor closer to the right extruder nozzle. I'm planning to design the sensor mount so it's easy to install and uninstall should I ever need to use the left extruder.
