How to get Euclid Probe

Where to get the highly accurate, magnetically coupled, Z probe

How to get Euclid Probe, How Easy is it to setup and use Euclid Probe?

Its as easy a buying a kit from a reseller , thru-hole soldering a couple of parts, screwing magnets to the boards. Deploying Euclid is a matter of determining the best probe mount and docking solution for your printer. There are examples and gcode macros for main firmware flavors for you to incorporate into your priner setup.

Buy a kit from a reseller

Due to numerous inquiries and customer demand, we have begun producing kits and make them available through select resellers. Kits include all necessary parts and the soldering of small components is already complete.

Part of the proceeds of these sales directly support both the creators of Euclid Probe and their resellers. These funds provide for further research and development for Euclid Probe, reseller support, the continual dock and mount creation and printer adaptations, and the ongoing firmware improvements.

Assembling the probe kit is a matter of through-hole soldering your choice of wiring header, the switch and assembling the magnets.

Some of the resellers offer assembly as a value added service. We are fortunate that all of our resellers take pride in their customer service, so if you need help, ask them or us.

We don’t offshore

We don’t offshore the labor to package and label Euclid kits- we believe in the ethos of putting community first and that sound business practices can serve a greater good. While we are not a ‘B Corp’ we look to the World’s B Corps for inspiration and example of putting community at the heart of what they do.

We believe in the importance to serve those in need locally over the maximization of profit: we have begun partnerships that engage the services of local community organizations whose mission is to improve the quality of life for individuals with disabilities through vocational and related programming to produce the kits from our sourced materials. It may not be the fastest, or the cheapest, but it does the most good.

DIY Build

The gerbers for DIY boards are hosted at OSHPark and Aisler. No part of the purchases made at OSHPark or Aisler benefit the creators of Euclid Probe. There are no affiliate links or royalties paid on these transactions.

These PCBs are the same circuitry as the production version. These PCB’s are the original design where the same PCB can be used for the tool board or probe board. We try to update them as we update the other boards to be consistent. The rest of the suggested parts are listed in the DIY BOM. We understand that the availability for some of the specified parts has recently become difficult- this affects us too.

A note about the relative differences in source pricing- Aisler costs run a little higher because they donate a portion of their profits to KiCAD development at CERN. We use KiCAD and don’t mind paying a little more for this. The production of Aisler boards also seems to be done in the EU and then get shipped to other parts of the world. OSHPark is made in Oregon, USA and shipped as well.
