Beacon Probe Eddy Current Surface Scanner for 3D Printers

this is nice brick it dose not work long enough to get it printing not that easy to set up and so many lost comms its not funny i would not buy it again

Just got this set up and I am really liking it. I went through four versions of tap before deciding to try this since they're now available for purchase from West3D. The Beacon website has all the instructions and they're very easy to follow. (Im not new but def not a pro). Once I got it all set up I cannot believe how fast it is and how accurate the contact function is. I wish I had the budget to get one for all of my printers. Really kind of crazy how well it works. The Beacon company is on to a winner with this thing.

After doing some research on the Beacon, I decided to pick one up from West 3D. I was mainly interested in this probe for the fast, pre-print meshes. Got it connected and went through the initial calibration from beacon's web site. At first, I was not impressed. I was coming from a Chaotic Lab CNC Tap v2 for my Voron 2.4. I could not get the first layers correct. After playing around with the settings and actually understanding how the Beacon probe works, compared to Tap, all I can say is I wish I would have done this sooner! This probe is hands down remarkable. I mainly print ABS/ASA filaments and the Beacon handles the temps just fine. The contact feature in the RevH is fantastic. It's very light touch compared to Tap and I use it for the initial calibration before prints. QGL is done via proximity. The values given for QGL are consistently lower than that of my Tap. Meshes on large prints are so much faster. If you are concidering one of these, get it!
