Summary
As I had difficulties getting the supplied IR sensor to function properly I made this modification to the design by iamburny
I've made a small alteration to the one-piece fan/heatsink duct, allowing swapping the IR sensor with a microswitch. And it WORKS - I've printed the last 10 prints or so without any problems.
When homing z this mod drives the nozzle into the bed until the duct pivots and activates the ms. Homing the x axis takes advantage of the bulb present on the acryllic xrib.
Cudos also has to go to KimBrown (father of bigblue http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:448906) for giving the inspiration to use a ms.
Instructions
This mod requires a bit of changes. First off the ms needs to be wired into the duet as seen on the wiring diagram.
Secondly the homing gcodes has to be changed (found last in this note). This can surely be done smarter than what I've come up with, as the x is homing it rams the hotend into the far end of the x axis if the starting point isn't relativly close to x = 0. Dosen't harm anything - just isn't smooth.
