My sensor board is best mounted on the hot end, not the carriage. This is so that the trigger height does not vary so much with the amount that the head rolls about the X rod.

Note that the hotend stays down by gravity and is supposed to be able to rock so that it is free to lift up and ride over the inevitable bumps in a print. If you make the hotend solid the nozzle will catch the print at frequent intervals and cause the X or Y axis to slip, or will knock the print off the plate.

While putting it back on I noticed how much my hot end would rock side to side. I have the carriage that has a bearing that rolls on the bottom of the arm. I have adjusted it up but I either have a little play or it slides like crap.
Does anyone have a better design that can be printer and that holds the dc42 sensor board?
