Front Cowling Mount

Thanks to Jlas1 for making this.

The Front cowling mount allows using SlideSwipe without printing and installing a new cowling.

Pros and cons compared to integrated mount

Pro	Con
+ No cowling rebuild required	- Probe is further away from the nozzle (can probe less of the bed)
	- Floppier and more fragile
	- Less aesthetically pleasing

BOM (Differences only)

Screws

• 2x M3x40 Cap head screw

Build

The build process is the same as normal, just substitute the cowling with the "FrontCowlingMount"

Klipper Setup

The klipper setup is also almost the same, however we need a few changes, do not try probing before this step

Pickup position

Move the X of the pickup position 8mm to the left, to do this change this part of the "SS_PICKUP_POS" macro from:

[gcode_macro SS_PICKUP_POS]
variable_x: 115
...

to:

[gcode_macro SS_PICKUP_POS]
variable_x: 107
...

Probe offset

Increase the X-offset of the probe by 8mm (to 28mm):

[probe]
pin: ^PC14
x_offset: 28
...

Change Mesh Leveling coordinates

Replace the whole "[bed_mesh]" section with this:

[bed_mesh]
speed: 200
horizontal_move_z: 25
mesh_min: 32,32
mesh_max: 88, 88
probe_count: 3,3
algorithm: bicubic

That's it

I still recomend moving to the integrated mount next time you redo the cowling.
