Better bed leveling with BIQU microprobe

[@brezovprut4431]

LT is saving Positron project. Hope LT Positron will get more attention and become true budget 3DP competitor with its unique features. Pelican case might not be only used for transport but maybe for enclosure as well or as off-grid battery station?

[@colinkng]

I use my case as a filament dry box for the printer when it is in use.

[@karthikm878]

I really love that the positron is not dead and u guys are continuing it. Would really love to build/buy it when its done completely Please keep us updated

[@caramelzappa]

Microprobe is pretty great. Extremely accurate, small, light, no dock needed, etc. The only downside is that its max operating temp is 60c, so it's not a good pick for enclosed printers. For Positron LT I think it's a great choice.

[@Pumpkinwaffle]

A joy to see video progress reports, the extra work of filming is appreciated!

[@shotybumbati]

This bed orientation is probably the best for ensuring you have beautiful first layers

[@SeanTaffert]

FYI the BLTouch can also touch and go without retracting the probe point every time. This is just how your firmware controls it. My CR-10 S Pro V2 running Klipper (or other thrid party Marlin firmwares) has done this for years.

[@3DPrince-zd1se]

I wasn’t aware of that. Thanks for the info!

[@hunt0583]

i cant wait for the updated parts from audiotronx to come out! I'm very tempted to build one after i finish my rook 2020 build

[@petercollins797]

I picked up the biqu microprobe for my Klipper Ender 3 after my old Bltouch wasn't producing repeatable results, it had excellent accuracy and my printer is working much better now. That performance plus the low price are probably going to make it a default choice for me in the future.

[@Jim_One-wl4ke]

Great to see positron in action👍.Courages people to step out of the box & making possibilities squeezing into a box👏👏. Like to try this Biqu micro too being so tiny but didn’t see your klipper cfg setup. Thanks for making this video❤

[@3DPrince-zd1se]

Join our discord and we can share the config with you. That would be the easiest way 🙏

[@womacko]

I'm also looking into getting the Positron some day. It's perfect for something like a campervan or trip to hackertron or somthing. 😊

[@0010plays]

one thing in klipper you can make it so the bl and cr touch probes don't retract when triggered i have 2 cr and 1 bl and im doing that on all of them

[@3DPrince-zd1se]

I learned that after I made this video :)

[@vtowndegekste]

How?

This is so sick. I can't wait for LDO kit. In your opinion will first kit by them be worth it seems like a lot is changing with the design. Watching first layers from "underneath" is so strange to me but looks amazing and so satisfying.

[@3DPrince-zd1se]

I don’t know what to tell you on that. LDO has done a lot of things to make the printer user-friendly, but there will still be so many ways that the Positron printers get better over the next few years. They are still using the IR probe for example 🤷‍♂️ However if you are looking for a decent portable printer to start using soon, the LDO kit may be a good option. They have a good eye for quality

[@csrpazzi]

Thanks for the video and keeping alive this project outside Discord. Please do a guide for building one LT, Kralyn never post the part 2 of the original Positron V3 build. I think a build guide would be a best way to show the project and keep uploading videos of the Positron LT, youtube does not have a lot to watch.

[@3DPrince-zd1se]

Build guides are coming and we will do our best to keep YT updated! Videos should become more regular in the coming months

[@psychomarto]

I have one still laying around as I didnt realize how sensitive it is - was concerned about how low the probe needed to be for it to fully retract - nice to see it's a feature, not a bug 😊

[@kerbybit]

I just designed a mount for a crtouch that would have been way easier to design if I had a smaller probe. Looks like it needs a redesign now :)

[@womacko]

Have a look into LDM bed scanning sensors! Beacon or Cartographer3D LDM. It is fast and uses eddy currents!

[@3DPrince-zd1se]

Those look great! They only work with a conductive bed though. I guess the ITO coating is conductive, but I wonder if that will be enough, especially if there is already a current running through it?

[@till2911]

Super cool, but could you please make a video assembly guide?

[@3DPrince-zd1se]

That will come after S1 is released :)

[@rhysdoes3dprinting]

thats cool its like a bltouch but smaller

[@lunaumbra5179]

Where can i find this ldo announcement? I can't find it. I would love to have the best positron but i also don't have the time to stay up to date. I live in a van and just need a present printer i can put away. Thank you for continuing this badass project

[@3DPrince-zd1se]

You can find it on Kralyns discord server. There’s a link in the description of my speedboat video

[@PalosX]

Mine wont stow after leveling and its causing problems got any ideas?

[@3DPrince-zd1se]

Can you explain your problem more? I might have seen something similar

[@PalosX]

@@3DPrince-zd1sesorry been busy and forgot about this b4 I start a print it does a 9 point bed leveling check afterwards when it goes to print plunger won't retract apparently its a common problem.

[@3DPrince-zd1se]

Interesting, where else are they talking about this problem? On reddit threads or KZbin? Is it a problem with the microprobe or klipper or something else? @@PalosX

[@hd-be7di]

Why is your printer printing upside down bro

[@ichhalt1063]

Why isn't yours? 😂

[@hd-be7di]

@@ichhalt1063 If you need an explanation for that question then the explanation will not serve any purpose due to the nature of the question you asked.

[@ichhalt1063]

@@hd-be7di There are a lot of benefits when you press the wrong way around, especially when it comes to overhangs. Other KZbins, including larger ones, have already tried this. So why not give it a try.

[@hd-be7di]

@@ichhalt1063 A lot of benefits? I'm sure great first layer adhesion is one of them as you can see in the video... /s I like to work with gravity, not against it, If I could chose.

Hey That filament is made in my city lol

[@SpieleETC]

It sonds very quiet, i thought with these mini fans it's going to be a jet turbine. I'm 🤔on discord. The more active one.

[@3DPrince-zd1se]

I have the mini fans voltage turned down to 40%… couldn’t handle the noise

[@3D_Printing]

All ripping off the BL Touch

[@3DPrince-zd1se]

Maybe but biqu does it better 🤷‍♂ its not just a cheap fake

[@psychomarto]

If you think that antclabs is the only one that can use a probe technique for this, you're as naive as a child. On that thought, no cars other than Benz then could have internal combustion...
