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.
