Are you in Australia and seeking a top - notch 3D printer homing and surface scanner? The newly updated Beacon REV H is here! It comes in a new form - factor, has 15% higher sensitivity, 40% less thermal drift, and an on - board accelerometer. This eddy current displacement sensor is perfect for homing and surface scanning in 3D printers. It works only with Klipper, is fully assembled, and includes a USB cable. Note: it requires a conductive surface or substrate on the printer bed. Beds with oversized fixed magnets may not be compatible. Key features include native displacement output (no z motion needed for sensing), a fast scan - mode mesh for dense grid sampling, and low thermal drift. It's compatible with Klipper firmware, connects via USB to a single - board computer, and needs a 400um or thicker conductive surface on the bed. The package includes a 6 - foot custom USB cable and a Beacon board. There are different mounting variations: Normal (flat - assembled PCBs), Low Profile (flat - assembled PCBs and cable connector), Right Angle (PCBs at 90 degrees), and Unassembled (comes with instructions). It also has a 60 - day standard warranty. Browse other Voron and 3D printer parts and accessories.
Using the Beacon REV H 3D printer homing and surface scanner is easy. First, make sure your printer bed has a conductive surface or substrate that's 400um or thicker, like bare steel or PEI - coated steel. Avoid using beds with oversized fixed magnets. Connect the scanner to your single - board computer via the included USB cable. Since it's designed to work with Klipper firmware, ensure your printer is running this firmware. When using, the scanner has a native displacement output, so you don't need to move the z - axis for sensing. It can quickly sample a dense grid in scan - mode mesh. As for maintenance, keep it in a clean and dry place. If you notice any issues, refer to the 60 - day standard warranty. There are different mounting options, so choose the one that suits your tool - head best. If you get the unassembled version, follow the provided instructions carefully during assembly.
