Hi Folks,
I came across this the other day:
https://beacon3d.com/product/beacon/
Its an eddy current sensor that can quickly map the bed of a 3D printer - Has anyone got any experience? Wondering if it could be a useful 3D probe replacement. Looks to have massive advantages of speed (so you could scan a much higher resolution map) but needs to scan conductive surfaces and be placed away from magnets on the gantry/spindle. I could see it being useful for metal work....
Video for interest:
