Hello @Toni ! Sounds interesting. One technical question: Do you have a low voltage heated bed or one that runs on mains supply?

I have a custom heated bed that runs on mains voltage. But I want to mount the alumium plate electricaly isolated from the rest, because the 5V on the plate wouldn’t work with the grounded bed. [Screenshot 2023-12-03 161612]

[image] Toni: I want to use a 3D-Beacon probe in the future. This is not an attempt to help answering your question. Cool thing, interesting but too expensive (just my opinion). [image] Toni: I want it to move down until it hits a bare aluminium plate on the front of the bed. https:/…

[image] hcet14: I think aluminium is the wrong material to go with that probe. In fact, only conductive surfaces like aluminum or steel will work with such a sensor. For example, a bubble/missing spot in the PEI sheet will go unnoticed. @Toni Interesting idea. I’m not sure if your concept c…

Thanks for the answer. Do you know any one or any place, where I can find myself a macro Gandalf? Or do I need to become one myself?

It is never wrong to learn how to write macros for Klipper. I’m following this probe but the price is still high and shipping to Germany as well. There are IDM knock-offs in AliExpress and even one with a smaller head and outsourced electronics and no restricted area. But nevertheless your projec…

No problem. I mean your right, the probe doesn’t really matter. At the moment I’m running a 3D-Touch and the shown concept would pretty much work the same.

Can I like send you my current macro and you tell me what might be wrong with it?

In my opinion, one of the issues your example above is suffering from is detailed here: Help with Macro: SET_GCODE_VARIABLE doesnt set my variable - #12 by theophile
