Beacon surface scanner & contact probe

Eddy current displacement sensor for homing and surface scanning in 3D printers. Works with Kalico and Klipper. Comes fully assembled and includes a USB cable. Revision H is currently being shipped with 6Feet cables, Available in Standard or low-profile versions. 

Specs:

• Standard Configuration - best used in Annex, Voron and most 3D printers with the main PCB and sensing PCB assembled flat.
• Low Profile - Best used in VzBot, RatRig, or K3 Frostbite Printers, comes with the main PCB and sensing PCB assembled flat.
• High Temp Accelerometer – Measurement up to 100C, standby up to 115C.
• 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.

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.

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.

WARNING: Requires a conductive surface or substrate on printer bed to work. Bed stacks that include oversized fixed magnets are not recommended and may not work with Beacon. BTT Pi and BTT Manta are known to cause damage to Beacon devices, they must be used with an inline hub or a different SBC.
