  • I like trying new ABL probes, and in this video I test the Euclid probe. It is unique in that it comes in two halves. One stays attached to the print head and the other is only added for probing, which minimises moving mass. Being a mechanical probe, it is suitable for any bed surface and the high quality components make it suitable for heated enclosures too.
    This video tests the repeatability and shows assembly and installation on two different printers.

    I've been using it on my voron, after tuning, its extremely reliable and I've had no issues with false pickups, ideal mount for the voron 2.4 is bed mounting and with auto z calibration, it's really dead simple to use. If mounting to the bed, then a few steps are needed to dock it -- after homing and doing quad leveling, i home z again to establish relative z 0, this ensures that the probe can be safely docked. Then do the auto z calibration, and mesh if desired. If mounting to the gantry, there is no need for extra home z, but it's a bit more risky since the probe can be possibly picked up in odd printing motion, but even in that scenario, the motion is very specific, so it's extremely unlikely in either mounting setup.

    I’ve been using the Euclid probe on my Railcore 300ZL for 8 months now. I’m very happy with it. The Railcore MIC 6 bed has very strong magnets and it can mess up readings from the BLTouch. This is one of the strongest arguments for a probe like the Euclid.

    Euclid for me, is making up 1 half of my auto z calibration. At print start, i heat my bed, and my nozzle, making sure to deal with any ooze through a nozzle scrubber. The nozzle itself homes to my z endstop. The probe then homes the shoulder of the microswitch to the same endstop, and the bed. This means, all you have to tune is the offset between shoulder and trigger point of the euclid microswitch. Any changes in build surface, nozzle or temperature, are all accounted for. I honestly think this is 1 big step in useability that makes 3d printers much more friendly for the common users. Id love to see it done on a commercial printer.

    one thing you didnt mention but is a thing: temperature drift... i had an inductive probe that had great repeatability (standard deviation of 0.006), even at different temperatures. BUT: when i set the Z-Offset with ABS temps it worked as long as i printed ABS... when i switched to PLA the nozzle touched the bed, stalling the extruder, and on a cold bed it outright rammed into my build surface... so would strongly recommend testing this aswell...

    Interesting! I have an Anycubic Chiron freshly converted with a BTT SKR2 + RepRap, and I have a issue with the bedleveling. The probe must be installed/removed manually. I use Z endstops on each of my Z motors for gantry level, and a probe for bedleveling. But RepRap don't like that when you try to load your mesh leveling and warns you the Z=0 datum is not set properly. Most solutions I could find are "just put a permanent BLtouch" but this is a great alternative.

      lastly, characterizing me as being "upset" is disingenuous. if anything, i find it amusing that you're so willing to argue in circles about a topic that you are thoroughly beaten on.

    I'm currently running a modified Poor Man's BLTouch micro-servo + optical endstop probe which outperformed the 3D-Touch that came with my Sapphire Plus by a factor of 10 in accuracy. However, I have been looking at the Clicky Probe, but have the problem that my print-head cannot move outside the print area. Hence I'm considering having a Clicky Probe dock that can be put over the print area using a servo. Would make things again somewhat more complex to dock/undock, but would still allow getting the weight off the print-head. As for the probe you reviewed: $25 seems a bit much for what you are actually getting, no?

    Would it be possible to set this up on in Marlin as follows?:
    1: Don't allow homing if probe is not connected (wait for user to attach probe if nessecary)
    2: Once probe is connected, home, bed level, etc.
    3: store probe, and print
    4: at completion of print pick up probe again. This way the probe is already in position and even if you shutoff the machine and lose home when you turn it back on it's ready to rehome without user intervention.

      You can't print with the probe attached to the print head, that's the whole point of making it detachable. A mechanical probe needs to be lower than the nozzle in order to touch and probe the bed.
      That's why the BLTouch retracts it's probing pin.

  • @6yjjk

    Looking at your stow/deploy macros, it looks like the deploy is state-dependent and hence failure-prone. Run that deploy macro with the probe in place, and the probe will either fall into the bottom of the printer or stick randomly to something on the print head.
    Would it be safer to deploy by running the stow moves first? Especially if you're remote-starting jobs, you can't be 100% certain of the probe state, and for the sake of two extra moves it seems like it would add peace of mind.
    (Running stow with the probe already stowed would appear to have no consequences.)

    Man being just a hobbiest amd picking up the printer when i need something ive run into issues with things changing and as well as breaking after coming back to it. I like this idea for bed leveling out of most and want to try it. But i have an issue where i dug deep into teaching myself how to compile firmware by watching your vidoes and by the time i wrote the firmware for my first skr mini e3 v2.0 i did the furmware myself and did a bunch of differnt touches that i learned from your channel. But fast forward about a year and i burned up that skr mini e3 and didnt save the old firmware i made so id have to redo it. I found it extremely harder to figure out as im guessing updates to programs seemed different or i just dont remember right. Im a auto mechanic by trade and dont always have use for 3d printing but when i do it seems to come allot. Im worried about doing a firmware for this then forgeting how to do it again. How would you suggest someone like me be able to do this say after a uear of doing it the firat time. Or am i just showing how little i know about computers and programming that i forget it easy when trying to teach myself something that i womt use constantly. Thank you for all the great knowledge

    As you just finished with the SK-Tank, I would be curious about using this ABL instead of the inductive sensor. I've had no luck with my SK tank bed leveling even though the size and mass of the bed would suggest otherwise. After I mapped the bed for the first time (preheat and post heat) you would have thought I was trying to print on a bell. Adjusting the inductive sensor height including the little lock nut is darn near impossible with my chubby fingers. I was thinking of going to BLTouch but I would prefer something small and removable like the Euclid. Any interest?

    BLTouch vs Euclid probe!?! Didn't y'all look at the std deviations in the video? The WORST probe he tested had an insignificant deviation. You will have no issues with either probe--get the one available to you or tickles your mod bug the most.

    What happens when you get a bit of swarf on one of the magnets? Wouldn't it be better to have the mating parts be some hard-ish (e.g. aluminium alloy, brass, etc) balls/pins for kinematic location and then the magnets coming close, but not touching, for the fixing?

      i won't comment on bed magnets and high temperatures, but i've never encountered any issues with mine.
      as for finicky: this Euclid probe literally mounts and dismounts itself on use. the amount of failure points is much higher as a result. as such, the Euclid is significantly more finicky based on that alone.

      Also, there are motherboards "old style" like my Creality 1.1.3 that require some modifications (like cutting 1 wire from the display cable) to get an ABL working. in this case, you can use the microswitch as a probe and z endstop.
      that doesn't require any modification since the z-endstop is default on any board.
      so.... no, it's not an overkill solution. maybe it's pricey but even if I gather all the components (magnets, connectors, switch) I'd miss the PCB part, that I have absolutely no idea where to get it.

      The BLTouch also needs to be assembled..?
      The arguments people have against this probe are so weird.
      I have several printers. They look different and have different capabilities, which makes different probes the better options for different printers.
      No probe is perfect in every situation, but I can tell from experience that the Klicky probe is a hell of a lot more reliable than BLTouch, and takes less time in the long run since it will never catastrophically break and force you to buy and reinstall a new one.
      I have not used an euclidic probe, but is has the same functions as a Klicky.
      You could probably have installed an euclidic probe to your printer in the time it took you to watch this video, so I think maybe you should reconsider how you spend your time-money.

    After building 2 of these for my RatRig both after a very short time (5-6 prints - bed mesh) the switch becomes highly inaccurate to the point its no longer reliable and the mesh fails. I've tried 2 switch manufactures for the micro switch. When I put the second (bottom part) on it worked for a while then started to produce "Probe samples exceed tolerance. Retrying..." to the point of failure.
    I tired slowing down the probe speed but nothing works.
    Anyone else have these issues? I don't want to go back to the BL Touch!!
