Beacon

Eddy current surface scanner for 3D printers:

• Native displacement output – no z motion necessary for sensing
• Scan mode mesh – dense grid sampling in a matter of seconds
• Low thermal drift – minimized by design, active compensation for everything else

RevH:

• High Temp Accelerometer – measurement up to 100C, standby up to 115C

Printer Compatibility:

• Firmware: Klipper
• Connection: USB to Single Board Computer
• Bed: Conductive surface or substrate, 400um or thicker. Bare steel, WHAM BAM, PEI coated or laminated steel, etc. Use with beds employing large or oversized fixed magnets is not recommended.

Includes:

• 1x Custom USB cable (6ft free or 10.5ft for an additional fee)
• 1x Beacon board (main PCB, sensing PCB, headers, cable connector)

Variations – this is important for mounting Beacon to your tool head appropriately:

• Normal: main PCB and sensing PCB are assembled flat
• Low Profile: main PCB and sensing PCB are assembled flat (as well as the cable connector)
• We are currently only stocking "Normal" Beacon, but may stock low profile in the future

Warranty:

• 30-day standard warranty (following the date of delivery to you)
• Using a BTT Pi or BTT Manta board with the Beacon without an inline hub voids the warranty
