I installed the 3d touch sensor and setup firmware with no problems. started printing with no problem but on the third print I came back and the pin was laying on the table next to the printer. I then put the pin back in but it didn't seem to slide into anything. Now when I power it up it doesn't move and the LED starts flashing an alarm and doesn't work.

This is what I have tried so far:

1 Sent a M280 P0 S160 to release the alarm the LED stops flashing and stays on solid.
2 Adjusted the screw in the top counter clockwise till LED goes out adjusted the screw clockwise till the LED just comes on.
3 Sent a M280 P0 S10 the pin was in the up position. The LED dimmed for less than a second and then started flashing.
4 Moved the pin to the down position by hand and sent a M280 P0 S90 the pin pulled up and the LED stayed on solid.
5 Sent a M280 P0 S160 to release the alarm and then sent a M280 P0 S120 the LED dimmed a couple of times and then started flashing.
6 Loaded the firmware on the page you referred me to and tried all steps again with the same results.

As I said in the previous post it worked with no problems for the first 3 prints until the pin fell out.

You can try the teflon tape (thread seal tape) mentioned in the following post to see if it can fix it:

I tried the Teflon tape the pin is still not pushing down.
I borrowed a sensor from a friend to try and see if the problem was the sensor or printer.
With the new sensor it is working without any problems. so the problem must be with the sensor.
