How To Easily Move PINDA Probe

I have an MK2S with the taller 'full body' PINDA probe holder (without the nut to screw on the PINDA probe)

It's very hard to adjust the PINDA probe up and down because of the screw groves on the probe's body, so I resort to using a screw driver to slightly pry open the gap to move the probe up and down but it's very inaccurate and difficult to position right.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to move the probe easier?

Moving the probe? I have no idea, but I did watch a video where this guy made a calibration tool for adjusting the probe, and nozzle.

Does that help?

War... War never changes.

That helps getting it in the right height, but not the actual act of moving it which is what I'm having a problem with..

Well.. I have the solution...

Or rather the solution came to me outside of my control.. as I was trying to move the sensor, the obvious thing happened.. I snapped the holder.. luckily it was a clean snap right across the holder, so when I screw it back in, the probe seems to stay in position....

Yaayy?!?!? Guess I'll print a replacement eventually.. or just wait till I get the MK2.5 upgrade kit and swap the whole extruder assembly.

If you just need to move it a little, just loosen the screw(s) and turn the PINDA with needle nose pliers.

Being careful, of course.

The cable madees it hard to turn or reposition. 😛
