#Under Construction | ||
### 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 |
