### 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
