Good da y

I recently bought a reprap prusa i3 a602 kit and is my first 3d machine. The thing is that's almost always I need to level the bed. Looking on the internet I see a very good project of an auto bed leveling, but for others machines. That anybody try to do this project on the a602 kit. Can anyone help me with this, to put this upgrade to my machine.

Thanks

I produced a differential IR probe for doing accurate auto bed compensation on the Ormerod (see [miscsolutions.wordpress.com]). At least one person is using it on a prusa mendel. However, the current version is designed to work with Duet electronics, and AFAIK it hasn't been used with anything else.

Disclosure: I design Duet electronics and work on RepRapFirmware, [duet3d.com].

Hmm I dont see points where you can attach the probe... When you find a good point tell me and I will try to make something in Solidworks or modify my current design. The design is using a capazitive probe.

One thing I would say

A602 printer, the heated bed should be plain metal on top, with the writing underneath (unless they have changed the design)
If I were you I would check the instructions to make sure it is the right way up.
