Ender 3 V2 BLTouch Mount with Embedded Threads

Note: This was remixed from a model on Thingiverse and is now imported here.

I saw on my Ender 3 V2 that I had screw holes that was intended for Creality's new BLTouch kit. I really like the mounts from prydonian and puturai, but both versions of the mount require the use of nuts to hold the BLTouch in place. Thus, I used FreeCAD and Onshape to add screw threads to prydonian's model.

I used Parametric Parts' thread creator to make the screw threads in the model (just to make it easy to add the threads): http://store.parametricparts.com/store/p3/Thread_Creator_for_Onshape_(BETA).html

Do note that you need the mounting holes for BLTouch in the Ender 3 V2, BLTouch, 2 M3* 6 screws, and 2 M3* 8 screws. The Creality BLTouch kit for V1 has everything here, but try to look for the cheapest and most reliable option, as at the time of this writing the V2 Creality BLTouch kit wasn't released yet.

I recommend to print this at a layer height < 0.2 mm, as it is easier to screw in the M3 screws in the threads. Also, you should orient the part where the BLTouch attachment side is either facing up or down, so you'll need to have done good prints beforehand for this part to work.

As stated in summary, I recommend to print this at a layer height < 0.2 mm, as it is easier to screw in the M3 screws in the threads. Also, you should orient the part where the side where the BLTouch is either facing up or down, so you'll need to have done good prints beforehand for this part to work.
