3dTouch installation, Z always drives down

This is not a question, just a FYI.
I don't know if the extruder head design has changed since the wiki was written but...

Using the sensor bracket found here: http://www.geeetech.com/wiki/images/6/6 ... nsor-1.zip
Linked to from the Geeetech wiki guide to install the 3DTouch Auto Levelling Sensor found here: https://www.geeetech.com/wiki/index.php ... Mechanical

tldr: My sensor was physically mounted too high and could never operate causing the nozzle to drive into the bed when homing.

I never noticed the cause at first because the height was only just out.

The simple fix was to insert 2mm spacers to lower the sensor so that it now operates.

Other than that, the guide works as at 12/06/2018
