Euclid probe kit with hardware in EU?

@zapta I am not claiming they'd be justified to go after anyone, given their hard stance on people wanting to give away the probes for free (which I personally don't believe is enforceable btw) may mean they'd still give it a go.

@oliof No sorry that's not what I meant.

I've been looking to have this made and sold in the EU, and have had to deal with some vendors I approached basically threatening me with "This is the deal we'll offer, and if you don't take it we'll make our own and make sure you can't sell your design in the EU"

I'm sorry for letting that affect my response, the design is very much still CC-BY-NC-SA.

BTW, @sinned6915, did you come up with the idea of a stow away probe with an electromechanical switch and conduction through a magnetic coupler or is it based on previous works?

I came up with this on my own and cited it in the readme on gihub. It evolved from the semi-automatic probe and the steel frame of the Wanhao i3.

@sinned6915 the biggest problem is sadly the magnets in Europe....;(

yes, we have found that out the hard way. we are working on remedying that.

@Gixxerfast I now sell the official kits from @sinned6915 in the UK

@jay_s_uk, for voron v2.4, does the Euclid requires having the Z stop? In other words, can it be mounted in such a way that it can be used for Z homing as well, similar to the Klicky?

Gixxerfast

@zapta OK, I'm not Jay (obviously ) but I can answer that question, yes you can:

jay_s_uk

@zapta I don't see a reason why it can't be used without a z endstop. examples are given here for picking up the probe when the Z dimension is unknown.

and thanks @Gixxerfast

Thanks @gixxerfast, this is very useful. Where can I find the STL models?

@jay_s_uk, the examples I saw had the Euclid hanging on the main frame which requires previously homed Z to pick it up. @Gixxerfast's pixures shows how it can be mounted on the gantry.

BTW, when in parking position, is it held securely in place, e.g. if the printer is tilted on its side for maintenance work?

Think (probably) I used VoronGantryMount2_Bkt.stl and VoronGantryMount2NativeCarriage.stl

They could be optimized further but works fine as is for me.

@zapta the example I linked to is for use where Z hasn't been homed.
and the docks typically have a little lip to stop the probe dropping out although its still a possibility if held upside down at the right angle.
STLs for the V2.4 can be found here
