New z-probe technologies

So another way to have Z probe calibration it's to use capacitive sensor but not mount in the hot end but in the BED… Like the Bed is A touchscreen and use the hot end like A Finger... There is lot of application very cheap using ardruino and simple alu foil....

You have here the library for ardruino!!! I think this Will change the Life of a lot of 3D printer builder ?

Open source is the Best way ever for the Best 3D printer for the less price…
Now We just need to print some Bed using conductive filament ans found the right shape of capacitor and that' it... Please Share your result and i do the same...
It's what Ultimaker3 use in there New hotbed for auto leveling

I though electronic scales used piezos?
Using the bed instead of the hotend is what is used with FSRs and I have heard there is some issues with sensitivity and issue with the bed being heated. maybe a capacitive arrangement would work better

very interesting…you have my attention
