3D printed BitZero V2 Holder

I needed a holder for the BitZero V2. I ended up multiple times missing to attach the magnet to the spindle, so I created it with a magnet/cable holder: that way I never missed to make the connection :-).

The design includes holders for the probing bits and hooks for the cables:

That method of holding the magnet would have saved me some time. +1

Well thought out! Might have to print one for my SO4. :slight_smile:

Worked up a similar design which can be milled:

@WillAdams,

… and a spare magnet button cover

I’m confused about that one: did you receive your BitZero with such a magnet button cover? I don’t think I have that one received?

Depending on when/how your BitSetter (EDIT: not BitZero) was purchased it might:

  • have a steel button
  • have a steel button w/ magnet and magnetic cover
  • have a steel button w/ magnet and magnetic cover and spare

If you need another 11mm diameter magnet let us know at support@carbide3d.com and we’ll work out how to handle this.

Methinks your Zero needs Setter-ing ? :slight_smile:

This is with what my BitZero V2 came with (purchased about a month ago):

To me this is a magnet with a steel button. No cover and no spare magnet.
Maybe this was yet another configuration?

As @Gerry noted, I had messed up my nomenclature, it’s corrected now.

The BitZero came in two versions, v1 has a small alligator clip, v2, the magnet which you show.

ah, this clarifies it, thanks!

Hey folks :slight_smile:

I realize this is a very old thread but maybe someone else is interested?

I found the model @McuOnEclipse designed on Thingiverse. I was impressed by its design. The only issue I had was that it was taped to the body of the machine.

I remixed the plan in Fusion 360 to add support for 3x6mm magnets to hold it to the machine body. I also had to narrow the wire slot in the “plug” in OpenSCAD – perhaps the wire gauge changed? My Shapeoko 4 was purchased around July 2023. There was also a small height change.

Everything else about the model is the same. Kudos to @McuOnEclipse for a great design.

The link to my remix is here if anyone is interested.

Hi @woodchip_breath ,
glad you liked the design! I have used that folder on my machine up to now without issues.
It very much could be that the wire might have changed, thanks for sharing the link to the remix!
