KlackEnder Probe - Simple, fast and cheap!
Adaptation of the Klicky/Quickdraw Probe for the Ender 3 and comparable Creality printers. The probe is compatible with all printers that use the X plate of the Ender 3. The cost of the probe is <5€, of which the switch is the most expensive part. The probe is compatible with Marlin and Klipper. Both firmwares work with the G29 command, the docking is done automatically by the printer, it couldn't be easier! Both firmwares add a KlackEnder menu to the display that can be used to dock and undock the Probe. The Bed-Mesh can be created via the custom menu, via the default formware settings or with G29.
I recommend to use the Rev2!
- Compatible with Marlin and Klipper. Firmware is provided.
- Automatic docking and undocking of the probe.
- Custom menu to control the probe.
- Cheap way to get fast and accurate probing.
- Easy to install, no soldering.
- Works with all print surfaces
- Use it as Z Endstop with the Rev2
Its working very well for me. If you have any questions feel free to join the Discord-Server
What's the difference between Revision 1 and Revion 2?
The most important difference is the position of the probe. With the Rev2, the probe is attached to the X-axis, which is why the probe can be used as a Z end stop. So no additional port for an end stop is needed and the probe can simply be connected to the old Z endstop port. The renders below show the difference, the upper one is the Rev2. (The Probe mount on the hotendplate is the same for both version)
