Just found this: https://e3d-online.com/blogs/news/introducing-pz-probe


Anyone have tried it? I can't even find a youtube video that shows it.

But I like the idea.

That would be because it was released today. Give it a couple weeks and first impression reviews will start popping up.

Looks okay but sorta late to the party. Beacon is so fast compared to something probing the bed.

that's true, but removing tap is good idea less mass less complexity. Same for V0 you have ideal first layer for one sheet and nozzle and with this thing you can swap everything and don't care about distance.

Well, that looks interesting.

Edit: Oo! Yes, the V0. Now it's even more interesting.

The problem with Beacon and other Eddy current designs is that they aren't happy with powerful bed magnets (eg Mandala Rose ultra flat with magnets)

That is true, plus for a small printer like the V0 where space is limited and you don't need a fast probe.
