KlackEnder Probe - Klicky for the Ender 3
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 มิ.ย. 2024
- Hey everyone!
Today I want to show you my new bed leveling probe: The KlackEnder Probe!
An 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 less than 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.

Hello Kevin,

@@ApArIcHiT467 oh really? It’s working for me 🤔
A BL Touch was too expensive for me so I stumbled upon this design. All I can say that I fell in love with it. Magnets are on the way to arrive, and I already have the other parts. I bet you can build this for under 2-3 $ and it can be as, if not, more accurate than e BL Touch, and if something goes wrong and it brakes, you can easily replace it. Thanks a lot for the effort you put into designing this thing.
I'd even be willing to bet this outperforms any BLtouch like solution in repeatability/accuracy. This also eliminates issues with erroneous probe deployments and these switches are very abundant and cheap. I will probably be making this. Super elegant design, bravo!
Such a nice and clean design . I was thinking around a probe deployed by head movement for long time. Now my search is done.
Happy to hear that :)
My proximity sensor sucks. Never achieved a perfect first layer since I first learned about 3D printing. I tested my both cheap capacitive sensor and servo probe on my DIY printer, and it turns out servo is much better. Now, I find this video and wanna move to klicky probe. Really huge thank you for this tutorial!
very good idea man,
simplicity of it is insane :D congarts for making it real :D
I will start this week. Anything you make for ender 3 I will make because of the epic difference the belt system made for me
And here I just purchased a crtouch, every time I get something I see something way cooler that I wish I had done instead! Nice video!
This is incredible! It looks like this is the reason I have been looking for to upgrade my mother board. I’m still running a 1.1.1.
This would also work with your stock board ;)
Id have to say I wish Id have seen this before I got a CR Touch. Just got a second printer and going to do your mods. You seem to be good at making the best bang for the buck mods
I always like money for some extra filament or the next upgrade, so a cheap probe had a high priority 💪🏼
Definitely worth trying thank you for this awesome mod 👍
Wow, Kevin, another awesome design. I'm using your dual z-belt system on my Ender 3 V2 and it's great. Greetings from Texas :)
Glad to hear that :)
The CR touch sensor works well but its expensive & it rattles / is noisy during print moves and there is no viable solution for it... until I saw this little genius probe!!! This is fantastic I will definitely will build one thanks so much Kevin!!!
I love you for making this. That voice crack at 2:47 though.
i have done your mode to Ender with belts , and Mega Happy with it . This looks interesting as well . Great Work Mate
Thanks for that :D I’m about to release the Rev2, this will be even better ^^
@@KevinAkaSam cool, when do you think you will release that ?
The files are already online, just check my GitHub. I still have to add some instructions and finish the video but it’s working perfectly. Tested by quite some people from my discord:)
So cool i'm going to be using this on my manta m4p ender 3 build cant wait.
I love your design! Seems nobody has thought to use the back of the mounting plate before you 👍 I wonder if your idea could be modified slightly to also act as the z end stop. The screws are used only as a docking mechanism to allow the print head to move away and leave the probe correct? If the probe switch was resting on a ledge, instead of bottoming out the screws entirely, would it then be able to trigger the switch when it docked? Seems like that could make for even easier wiring as you wouldn’t need additional pins
Cool ! Gonna do this too. mechanical/wiring/printing are easy for me. Just have to deal with the firmware 😊.
Thanks for sharing ❤
Looking forward to your cooling system
I used my Ender 3 Pro to make my Voron 2.4. Now I'm using my Voron 2.4 to convert my E3P to an Ender_SW. I can take parts of this setup(the dock etc) and the 2.4 mount and make something that work with the StealthBurner toolhead. Thanks!!
This is really cool!
Nice and thanks for your work! Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks! :)
If you want you can join my Discord and test the Rev2.1 Beta. We just started that yesterday. We also implement automatic z Offset calibration
@@KevinAkaSam i'm online! I print the parts yesterday, but no endstop......Amazon.....real Hero!
Firmware compiled successfully, thank you very much
The accessories are printed, just waiting for my package to arrive
Glad to hear that
Very impressive!
A video on setting up jyers (marlin) with this would be great!
You can find anything you need right here: github.com/kevinakasam/KlackEnder-Probe#marlin
@@KevinAkaSam I would change the --> prefix on your comments to be //--> so that PlatformIO and the compiler skip them - makes the copy paste easier.
I made some mods to the parts for my magnets I had on hand - I'll get around to posting them on-line soon. Just doing overall debug now.
Awesome mod! I just ordered the magnets for this, and stated to assemble the Frankenstein duckt.
Only one question, when we get the video of the fan light? Reaaaaaly cooool! 😁
Gonna try this on my old ender 3 together with the z belt driven mod you made.
Very nice. Thank you.
This is genius!
looks great not sure if i have the skill to do it but going to try :)
Thanks, it’s easy to assemble :) if you need any help consider to join the discord I’ve linked in the description
is this sensor more accurate than BL touch? Thank you for sharing this project.
Awesome
And if for some reason it fail to dock the probe? what's appening hotend crash to bed? is there anysystem to check if probe is attached? to prevent dock fail and bed crash?
good evening, i buy everything to try this probe ! very interesting for me. Just a question, why there is a lot of stl probe_block000 or probe_block025 etc... even the same for the probe_mount. I'm sur there is a reason... Thanks for your help.
Is this solution only used to set the Z height? Im using Klipper with a BL touch so would i need to use this to set z height then use the BL touch to generate a bed mesh?
Nice work. Do you have the stl files for the ender 3 neo?
Is there a settings for RepRap or only for Marlin and Klipper?
How does this compare to a bltouch? It seems like in some circles it’s really hated. Just wondering what’s the difference.
Hi is this the rev 2 version? your design is amazing and very practical
Hey, the video shows the Rev1 version. You can check ModBot on TH-cam, he made a video about the rev 2 :)
Where is the video ? For the Fan ring ?
I have a problem with the firmware, with marlin 2.1 I could not fit it with the custom settings for the probe in my board, I have the melzi board.
I just setup a cr touch on my ender but i really want to try this lol
Do you need the zswitch connected?
Did the upgrade a couple days ago on my Ender 3 MAX with NG Extruder running on Klipper. Needed the BL touch for another printer, that had a low quality BL clone that is going bad.
Took a bit to work around the BL touch already set up on the printer. Have screw_tild_adjust, and bed leveling working.
The only issue so far is the 'z_axi_calibrate' . I have not found a combination of loading PROBE_OUT & PROBE_IN manually, or automatically to get it working. Always gets to point when you adjust the nozzle height, and gives an error, thinking it is in manual mode.
What do you mean by z axis calibrate?
Could you quickly jump on my discord and give me a ping there? Makes it a little easier to troubleshoot
@@KevinAkaSam Finally found the issue, entering wrong format in TEST_Z command. You do have to manually remove probe before TEST_Z commands. Working great now, thanks for replying..
I am using manual PROBE_OUT and PROBE_IN for tilt_screw_adjust, so it doesn't go through the out/in process brfore each test. Also modified the OUT and IN to go to center of board, so it always starts where homing leaves off. Amazing upgrade, thanks. Adding belted Z to the ender 3 MAX with the Klack, printing out the parts now. It has been on another E3 for about 9 months, works perfectly.
Thanks again.
Can't wait for parts to arrive, so I can build this. Has anyone tested it with the hero me 5015 fan duct?
Are you planning on making a video about Revision 2?
Yes! I have two exams next week, after that I will have time to make the video
does the firmware allow for dual z axis with separate stepper drivers?
You will have to compile the marlin firmware yourself. The discord only describes that to change for the Klack. If you’re using klipper it’s just copy and paste
will this fit on a ender 3 MAX?
does this replace the z-axis endstop on the ender 3 or will i still need to use it?
No this wouldn’t replace the z endstop. It’s an additional endstop
Could you use z_virtual_endstop and use the klicky as your z homing? This would negate having to purchase another microswitch and also make z homing between different build surfaces easier. I think you'd also have to create a g28 macro that included probe_out and probe_in or just add probe_out/probe_in to start gcode in a slicer.
No that’s not possible because the printer doesn’t know the z position before homing. Because of this it can deploy/dock the probe because it simply doesn’t know where it is (if it had to drive 50mm or 200mm downwards)
@@KevinAkaSam ah yes that makes sense. I suppose if one wanted to use it for z homing it would be a matter of manually attaching the probe prior to homing. I really dislike adjusting the z end stop but I suppose there are printable mounts to aid with that.
@@KevinAkaSam couldnt you just add a line in the slicer end gcode that has it pickup the probe when done printing that way you can use it to home
Hi. The idea is amazing. Do you think i can do it for Anet A6 with Marlin setup? Let me know!
I’m sure you can adapt this, just some different mounting points
@@KevinAkaSam Yeah, mechanically is OK, but software??
What fan duct are you using ?
That’s my own design, it’s not released yet. You can get it as beta on my discord 🙂
can i use a mouse switch for this? is it the same thing?
No, you want the suggested omron switch or you will end up with a poor accuracy of the probe
So cool video
As cool as an LED fan as a PC cooler.
What is the model name?!
buying one too.
The led is called led filament, the stl for the mount is on my discord. Haven’t had any time to upload that somewhere
Oh genius ，Can I use it on ender-3 MAX
I see that this was specifically make for an Ender 3, bit is there a version of this that would work for an Ender 5 Plus?? I also have a MicroSwiss DD sitting on an Exoslide.
Iirc there’s already a klicky adaption for the ender 5 or am I wrong 🤔
@@KevinAkaSam I have no idea, I searched and couldn't find one, maybe someone can share a link if they know of one.
what fan is that with the leds?
That’s a self made cover which works with 40mm fans. You can get the stl for that on my discord, it isn’t officially released yet :)
Will this work for the stock Ender 3 board? Because on thingy verse it says something about not being able to use it
The Rev2 will work as it replaces the stock z endstop
@@KevinAkaSam so i just plug it in where the current Z stop is plugged in ?
Correct 👍🏻 aside from that you only habe to adapt the firmware as I described on the repo
What fan is that red lighted one? 😁
That something I call led fans, nothing I uploaded anywhere yet. It’s just some led filament (from light bulbs) in a printed cover. Join my discord to get the stl, there’s a channel called led fans at the very bottom; the stl is pinned there :)
@@KevinAkaSam awesome thx, looks like it would come like this from factory, that's why i asked so stupidly😅🤓🤟🏻
I have an ender 3 but I use a glass bed, do you think it has any drawbacks?
No this probe works with all kind of surfaces, even your finger :P
@@KevinAkaSam I was going through the documentation and you attach a modified firmware, ready to flash? Or do I need to modify it according to the instructions
what about the wiring?? Can you install this in a stock ender 3?
Yes just replace the z stop switch with the klickly probe wire
Hi, is this compatible with your other videos on the belt driven z axis mod, along with the linear rail version, or would it require remixing the mount? I'm a big fan of the simplicity of both mods so I'd like to use them both on the same printer eventually when I get one for myself.
I am also interested🤔
Yes of course it’s compatible with it :)
@@KevinAkaSam So is it compatible with X-axis linear rail mod as well?
No it’s not compatible with a rail on x. You will need the stock x plate
hi on the github page i just wanted to let you know i think you linked the wrong video to the assembly guide.
Oh right haha, thanks :)
what is the magnets diameter?
6mm in diameter, 3mm in height
What fan mount are you using??
It’s self made, I will upload the files soon :)
@@KevinAkaSam Just wanted to ask about that as well :) Looks like a 5015 blower and a 50mm radial? I've been trying mounting a 5015 on my printer for a while, avoiding all those fang solutions.
Very Nice!
CR10(V2) Version?
Do you have a link to that print head to share please :D
Of course, that’s Frank:)
github.com/kevinakasam/FrankEnstein-Duct
Wow amazing can i use my z limit switch do to this mod and connecting it on the z endstop ?
No, that’s not possible, but there will be an update soon which adds auto z and for this you will need the stock switch 🙂
@@KevinAkaSam auto z calibration ? I need this!!
Than join the discord server (link in description) and take a look at the Klack chat. I’m doing a final test tomorrow and will release the beta files then (only on the discord - normal procedure before it gets to GitHub)
@@KevinAkaSam i will be happy to test it :)
did I miss something? where are the files for the parts, and firmware you mentioned. and where do you plug the other end of the wires to?
You can see the wiring guides GitHub or thingiverse where you have to connect the probe to. Onassis some pictures for that. The firmware changes are described on GitHub, adding code on thingiverse is quite messy
Did you remove the belt for the Z axis?
No, this ender will get the belt upgrade too. But I will use it for the FAQ video. So that’s why it’s stock, had no time to record it so far.
@@KevinAkaSam Thanks! I'm also considering replacing the Z axis with a belt, is there any problem with it during use?
No, it’s working just fine , I’m really happy with it. :) I’m currently experimenting with G34 on the Dual Z Version
@@KevinAkaSam Thank you for the great video you share！
I have one question, does it work on ender 3 pro?
Of course 👍🏻
Thanks
didn't find firmware for Marlin. only klipper. I'm not advanced enough to understand Klipper or raspberry's or anything like that. is there a work around?
See the the bottom of the page :)

Was für ein Kabel muss das sein? Kenne mich da leider gar nicht aus. Hast du irgendein Beispiel was das haben muss?
Nimm das was du daheim hast, zb die bunten Motor Kabel oder so. Alles ab 0,2mm^2 dürfte gehen
Brauch ich noch nen Stecker fürs Mainboard? Kann ich die Teile in PLA drucken?
Naja irgendwie einen Stecker wird dein mainboard schon benötigen, meistens jst-xh. Pla geht in Ordnung
Sorry für die doofen Fragen... soll auf ein SKR MINI E3 V3 angeschlossen werden (Z Probe) reicht da ein 2 pin Stecker oder muss ich nem 5 Pin Stecker nehmen?
5, davon werden aber nur zwei benutzt
wow good solution….can u share modeling file? thank you.
Thanks! You can get the cad on my GitHub. But we’re close to an update. Feel free to join my discord (link in description) to get access to the beta (also fully parametric)
how do u wire it to the main board
Just connect it to the old z endstop port 👍🏻
@@KevinAkaSam ok thanks
Im trying to install this on Ender 3 V2. Ive printed the parts in PLA, and the main mount on the bracket was a bit difficult to fit but it eventually worked. The top hole doesnt line up with anything, but the bottom hole does line up with a spare threaded hole on original plate so i can just fit a bolt on, not that its necessary since its a really tight fit. Ive checked clearances on the other parts and they dont seem to have any major issues. Looks like this will work fine mechanically. Still waiting for the magnets to arrive, but i did find a good switch to use. However, im stuck at a few things in firmware, im using Mriscocs source code as the base, and cant confirm if the (OUT) probe pin assignment will be (PB1), can someone confirm? I have a Creality 4.2.2 board. Also will the bracket not melt being so close to the nozzle? My v2 does have a silicone sock, but not sure how much heat will be blown by the fan towards the printed bracket. Should i print with some higher temp material? And what would be best suited?
Ive been trying for 9 straight hours now, and i cannot get it to compile for v2 using mriscocs base code. :-(
Comment the #define LCD_BED_TRAMMING
Thanks. I gave up and bought a bl touch.
there is only 1 part on the thingiverse? you are showing 3 parts here. I am confused
Check the instructions on my website (kevinakasam.com)
Will this work for the ender 3v2
I will upload a version for the V2 asasp
@@KevinAkaSam Any progress on the v2 version please? I cannot get the firmware to compile..
i edited the script according to you, but it doesn't work, it only goes down 1 time and jumps to another point instead of 2 times like the video, my board v422 ender3
Ah that should be easy to fix! Klipper or Marlin? :D
@@KevinAkaSam my board marlin
Can you try to activate the #define MULTIPLE_PROBING 2 ?
@@KevinAkaSam one more problem i don t see print from media in menu
Than you have to activate sd card Support in the config. But this isn’t part of my modification. Do not use the firmware I uploaded please! It’s just for reference!

What kind of switch? Why is there only 1 file in thingiverse? Why no measurements for magnets in thingiverse? ARGHHH
