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.

I've been using a Klicky for a few months now and it was a huge quality of life improvement. Switching between removable bed types is no problem, regardless of the material.

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.

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.

I read through these comments and I can't help but laugh at how genuinely *upset* some BLTouch fans seem to be over the prospect of others preferring something like the Euclid Probe... Y'all are making my day

Very nice and simple probe, they made some smart choices to prevent issues

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...

I just installed one of these. Best bed probe you can possibly get.

The Mclaren Papaya orange looks great on that grey. I want that sweatshirt lol, you always have the best F1 jackets.

Played with allot of stuff like this in the past. Magnetic pen tool changer with 5 colours . Brush nozzle cleaner etc and think it looks cool but for abl I prefer to just keep it simple, with a bltouch or a conductive sensor . The pickup designs I used would eventually fail in my case or slightly crash the partcooling or the slightly unaligned thing itself. Love how innovativ people are though

i hope every day that there is the all problems solving true nozzle probing solution, eventually the community can adopt the prusa xl way that seems to be the best solution we have for now. Besides that a great video and nice to see that the progress is going on 🙂 personally i always come back to my bltouch no matter what i tried in past 😅

Nice.. was gonna skip the Omron sensor on my Trident build and go with this. Great timing for your video.

Recently moved from BLTouch to Euclid. Very happy with it.

Great video, but it is all in the printers. I time to time test my leveling and find it every time spot on. Loving my QIDI :)

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.

Looks like a great addition to the probes :) I would love to see you test the Orion probe from presicionpiezo

Looks like a nice simple and reliable design 8-)

How about using a metal bed, and using a conductive touch probe, something like the luzbot use? They attach a wire to the extruder, and the nozzle touched the bed corners where a second wire is connected, it closes a circuit, and then you don't even need to connect a probe, just an extra wire.

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.

Friend of mine met the creator of Euclid at MRRF this year... said he was very opinionated and a bit of a jerk, spoke very dismissively of Klicky as "stealing his idea" and tried to sell my friend a Euclid kit for twice the normal price... 🤨

Hi teaching tech ! I notice you have talked about klipper. Your channel is the one that taught me the most about setting up my printer. I have made the move to klipper and I have trouble with some thing. Would you agree to make tutorials about klipper ? I am struggling with maccros, and organizing file ( as i have seen you have a homeall.g, i don't know what it is for, and how to call it), I am having big trouble setting up my tplink, just like I did in octoprint and stuff like that. Also, my mesh calibrate isn't working as intended at all... THanks a lot for all your video, you have truly taught me a lot about 3d printing !

Love the McLaren hoodie!

Hi Michael! would you consider making a video about input shaping on RepRap Firmware?

Rocking that new McLaren merch it looks, let’s go!

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.

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.)

If induction probe can't work for your bed type, this looks like the next best option. For farm tough, would really want induction probe. Personally, wouldn't touch the BLTouch with a 10' probe.

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?

Could you please test the accuracy of sensorless probing with the newer stepper drivers?

Very unique system. I like the whole docking system. Interesting take on abl! I’ve completely moved away from abl probes. Just personally hate them. They add an unnecessary complication to a problem that I can easily and more cheaply resolve with a cheap piece of glass from the hardware store. This is my own personal belief, if abl works for you then fantastic!! Not saying abl for everyone is a waste. But with that said. The auto docking feature is pretty damn cool. I could see using this on something like my flsun delta printer that doesn’t have a glass bed and uses a manually removable abl type system.

So after we setup the probe, we then setup Auto Bed levelling like usual??

it's neat, but honestly feels like a solution in search of a problem. you're basically just shaving off about 5g of mass (and about $10) from a standard bltouch, and it probably won't make any difference in print quality.

Nice! Wonder how that would compare to one of the other "DIY" solutions like FreeABL

Marlin now have a option for magnetically mounted probes .please review

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?

I am soon to receive my VCore 3. And I intend to use the euclid at some future point. Would be nice to have a vid, explaining how to and what I need to change in firmware. In the mean time I will be looking at the Vcore Git, for any files pertaining to the probe

That included 3d printed part is as rough as a bears arse, I know its only a jig but its not a great advert for the product, I hope the quality of the electronics are not as bad

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?

Hello, I have creality ender 3max it will not print the product dont know what else to do I levelled bed with sheet of paper still wpnt print any ideas,

Hello great tutorial, I have a question about Ender 5, if I attach the display to the frame, pip the display and automatically jump to the menu and back, the mianboard is new silent 4.2.7 what can it be and how can I fix it because I currently have the display on the table?

If I go with a bigger nut size nozzle will it perform better I know they start at 6 mm and go all the way up to 10 mm just wondering if the bigger ones are better

this is exactly what i was looking for! how is the accuracy/repeatability when used in the heated chamber?

Hello does the holder for the Super racer also work on the flsun q5 witout any modifications ?

They shouldn't be called ABL, they should be called ABLDFBCCP. Auto-bed-level-deviation-from-bed-center-compensator-probe.

For i3 style printer, does the parking position get mounted to the frame or the bed?

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

Just question i guess not going ever finish mobility scooter its been 3 years ?

Practical video, thank you Michael, you're not Micheal Obama but you're always a loved member of the vampire family ❤️

The magnets will chip with use. Snapping them together is pure death. They should bury them behind something. Even adding a washer to the magnet faces would be a good start.

Is the electrical current passing through the magnets? If so, I guess its not much to be concerned .

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?

Can it be added to the Aldi Cocoon Create printer?

This really should come pre assembled imo. Sure its cheaper than the other probes but when you factor in the time to assemble etc it becomes less attractive.

Nice idea; If I understand correctly, for a printer like an Ender 3, you will still need a way to home Z, correct? Unlike other probes like the BLTouch or inductive ones, you can't use the Euclide probe as an endstop.

Looks very cool. But it looks too complicated for me to setup. I am Tech savy, but it still looks like a lot to do.

Hmm....i get the idea that this type of sensor with a switch is not as good as for example the BL sensor which is mounted on the Genius Pro. What I do like: this one doesn't break and that's what happened to me when the BL sensor hits the print.

How is this any better than a normal BLtouch?

Could you review the open source Pyroball piezo-based ABL solution?

Do you probe with cold or heated bed?

Love it!!!

25 whole usd for 0.5 - 2 dollars of actual parts and you have to assemble it yourself? but like why?

How do we get in touch with Micheal if we would like to see if he can have a look at a printer for me? It has a fault we can not sort out, it can print benches, test cubes, heat test shapes, and pass all these tests - but anything large than that will not print and the head just starts hitting the side of the printer bed after a few passes.

je te mais au défis de configure marlin 2.1 avec euclid et 4 axe Z pour G34 carte Bigtreetech SKR PRO et BTT exp mot V1.0 bon courage

Note: Your accuracy on microswitches will degrade over time.

$25!?!?!? thats 4x more then Klicky and double a PCB klicky thats basiclly the same thing. huh?

Dang man, 25$ for a switch, a jst header, a couple of magnets and a couple of pcbs is steep, specially when it doesn't even come soldered and the pcb isn't even cut well... It's smart but not particularly innovative

lol I have just ordered one like 3h ago

This looks more reliable than the BLTouch. I've had to replace the pin on my BLTouch once because I rammed it laterally against the bed bending it which resulted in a number of issues with it's deployment.

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!!

1:55 - "Its available to most of the world" Asia , Africa , Latin America - Am i a joke to you?

🔥💕👍

? ᑭяỖｍｏ??

You could do all this......or just buy a clone BLTouch (3D Touch) for less than $20 and call it day.

Lol, because of the assembly work this is definitely not the cheapest probe. Time is money. I guess maybe not for you.

I'm using BL Touch replica + plain glass bed for more than 2 years with 0 problems. This is a overkill solution for easy problem. Nice ad by the way...
