Felix Pro L/XL
Overview of inner workings of probe mechanism:
The disc on top of the hot-end touches two magnets which have two functions.
Correct positioning of the hot-end. The hot-end gets firmly pulled to a in a defined position
-
Reliable electrical connection to enable probe function.
-
When touching the bed the hot-end including the disc moves upwards to the extruder housing. The disc moves
away from the bottom contact magnet and the printer-controller detects at that moment that the currently active
hot-end touches the bed.
The hot-end can physically move approx. 0.5mm up and down. But during normal operation that should be just 1
micrometer until it is detected by the printer controller.
