Beacon – Eddy Current Surface Scanner

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 – minimised by design, active compensation for everything else

Configuration information can be found here

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. The JB3D plates we sell work perfectly!

Includes:

• 1x Custom 6ft/1.8m USB cable
• 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
