What's this for?
An Ultra-Sensitive Z-probe sensor utilizing the mechanical force of the nozzle touching the bed, giving a direct measurement with no offsets or referential assumptions to consider
Optionally there is a version that incorporates an FFC Cable chain (Flat Flexible Cable) that can carry the entire print-head's signals and current in a clean and organized way
Why is this better than <X> sensor?
-
Vs. Inductive / capacitative sensors:
No Offset, more accurate, doesn't require special surface
-
Vs. Mechanical touch (BL-Touch, servo mounted endstops):
No Offset, more accurate
-
Vs. removable pressure sensor:
More accurate, no need for attaching a device only for levelling
-
Vs. Optical rangefinder / Time of Flight:
Much more accurate, doesnt require specific surface
-
Vs. Mechanical endstops:
All the things
-
Vs PrecisionPiezoUK version:
No potentiometer calibration required, better false-signal filtering
Features:
- Self-calibrating (no more fiddling with tiny potentiometers!)
- Ultra-precise z-height measurements
- Zero offset (The nozzle itself is the sensor!)
- Compatible with ALL surface types
- No plugging in removable sensors for leveling
- Tunable over UART / I2C
FFC Cable Chain Extra Features:
- FFC Cable chain for a clean connection between print head and controller
- Onboard switchable DC buck converter for 12v or 5v fan operation
- LED Feedback on all PWM components Standalone version available for drop-in installation
