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. :P]]> Prusa i3 kit (Archive) Marauderz https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/original-prusa-i3-mk3s-mk3-prusa-i3-kit-archive/how-to-easily-move-pinda-probe/#post-42513 https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/original-prusa-i3-mk3s-mk3-prusa-i3-kit-archive/how-to-easily-move-pinda-probe/#post-42511 Wed, 27 Sep 2017 17:45:23 +0000 Anyone have any suggestions on how to move the probe easier?

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.]]> Prusa i3 kit (Archive) Marauderz https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/original-prusa-i3-mk3s-mk3-prusa-i3-kit-archive/how-to-easily-move-pinda-probe/#post-42507 https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/original-prusa-i3-mk3s-mk3-prusa-i3-kit-archive/how-to-easily-move-pinda-probe/#post-42408 Tue, 26 Sep 2017 00:28:58 +0000 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? 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..]]> Prusa i3 kit (Archive) Marauderz https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/original-prusa-i3-mk3s-mk3-prusa-i3-kit-archive/how-to-easily-move-pinda-probe/#post-42408 https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/original-prusa-i3-mk3s-mk3-prusa-i3-kit-archive/how-to-easily-move-pinda-probe/#post-42386 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 19:30:37 +0000

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?]]> Prusa i3 kit (Archive) Marauderz https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/original-prusa-i3-mk3s-mk3-prusa-i3-kit-archive/how-to-easily-move-pinda-probe/#post-42365
