Hello Will - thank you for this wonderful plug in for ugs . I use ugs platform 20231006 and I don’t know if it is a bug or i miss a stetting - i zero the cnc at the crnter of the stock - before i apply the scan to the gcode spindle is running to the beginning of the code and stars executing . But if i apply the scan to the gcode the spindle first runs to the zero point (center of the stock ) z goes down to zero (stock surface) and at this hight it runs (z at surface of the stock) to the start of the gcode and destroys my surface of the stock . Why it runs to zero ? It is not in the gcode ! How i prevent this behavior? Thanks in advance Amir

Very good i guess important part is not to push on the hot plastic wall where bearing side walls touch but to push on the edge

Do I have to go through every one of those steps every time I place a new work piece? If so, it seems like its faster to just find zero manually.

Can we probe cavities as well os corners, Centers of circles, Great effort Thanks, Dennis

You can olso but your bearing in the freezer

The g0z0 not working on my universal g code sender

You could also try freezing the bearing for a couple hours while leaving the printed part room temp. Bearing shrinks enough to just press in and when back to room temp it expands. Of course this depends on tolerances.

Thank you, that's a great idea!. So, do you find that the plastic shrinks back down and grips the bearing really good?

Awesome work. going to try this out soon

Download link please. The one one github says this feature does not work properly.

Hello, very useful video. What I want to ask you is how can I decrease the return to Zero button's descent rate to the zero position. Trying to land too fast so sometimes he skips teeth

That’s great

What g comand are you using to to test that the z probe worked

Hi Will, Are you able to write, modify or develop an existing cnc software program? It is a marvelous motion control interface but it needs updating?I can send screenshots or facetime if you want to see it.

You are amazing Will

Thank you !😀

"You see it did a double tap there." Not on your webcam's 5 fps...lol But seriously, still a good informative video.

Hi Will, is the Auto Level feature implemented? If so, where can I find it? Thanks!

Thank you for posting this video. I was totally lost before I watched it. After watching it I was able to setup and run the probe module in UGS. There was one problem that I encountered with the accuracy oh the x/y zero point. I measured X and Y offsets but had tweek those numbers to obtain better accuracy for those axis.

This is so awesome! It would be epic if you made a video on how to do all this.

how to give tool diameter?for 6mm shank 3mm tappered ball nose bit

Great additions, don't think I've seen these on my Platform Edition, will search them tomorrow

@Will, Please consider adding a setting for probing for the "inside corner" rather than the "outside corner". I built a touch block that has the contact surface on the inside rather than the outside for X and Y axes.

Still a great demonstration 7 years later!

Good stuff, now there needs to be accommodation for a simple header to interconnect the two; sort of like the sequencer setup. Have you built any of the other “leet” modules yet?

nice. i wonder if throwing the bearings in the freezer would help clear an even tighter fit

Hey Will - LOVE your build (more on that below!) Would really like all us folks who're building these to be active on the vonkonow forum - it's a really cool project and I'm finding the help back and forth crucial (more on that below too!) I've /just/ built the LEET Keyboard and a LEET Pad (still debugging the latter; the former is showing correct blinkenlights boot sequence). Posted my discovery in USA of what wire to use on VonKonow.com forum (tl;dr: lamp/zip/appliance cord is super; 39 strands ea side of 0.3mm). Again, LOVE your build - esp the white/black tactile switches, and would love to know about those, especially if you found "low force" (50g/.5N) as Johan suggested. I got a bag of 100 from Amazon for USD$6 which are just fine but seem pretty clicky, no clue what the OF is and they're not telling (I asked: seller was "GZFY" as in typical Amazon randomly-made-up Chinese supplier name).

So the midi doesn´t overlay. when you connect them together?

is this ready for use, because UGS gives warning not to use it

Can't get this to work on Chilipepper with a 3018 as it throws soft limits but a standard macro for probing works just fine.

its by design, that world is getting dumber, the only hope is people like you, All the praises and lots of thanks

Hey, i am planning to use some ball bearing and this was what i have been looking for. Any info on the tolerance you used? my bearings are 22 mm in diameter

I wish I had that block as that is perfect to have for most things.

WOAH TEN YEARS AND LESS VIEWS

Brilliant! 👏

Great video but it is almost unwatchable with that many adds turned on.

Will, where did you get that nifty rectangular probe unit? I have the round one that works with my X-Carve, but would love to get one like yours? Will it work with X-Carve?

Cool!

Would the probe addon work for any machine or is it firmware dependent? Would love to be able to probe all 3 axis on my Millright Mega V I just got the build complete and learning all the software now.

Great video. for some reason my xyz probe when run in xyz will travel almost the entire way down the probe after it does the z and then the x. cant figure it out. it is actually working perfect on the x and y probe and the z probe but does it only on the xyz probe setup, any idea thanks again, Bob

do you have to do this for every piece?

Try heating the bearing?

You've solved my problem right before it happens. Respect.

What is the button "Generate Test Data" for? Thanks.

Will Winder, I just came here to comment on how *AWESOME* this program and specifically this tool is! It is helping me make my CNC machine WORK! I just tested this with a probe on my machine bed and saw the SURFACE BEING RECONSTRUCTED ON SCREEN!! then I applied it to G-CODE and BAM! MAGIC!!! It leveled the Z-Axis as it was running through the surface! Do we need a filter (capacitor + resistor) on the probe like we do on the limit switches so it works better? This is so awesome I can't describe how happy I'm right now. Please don't stop developing this, your program is really awesome! Best wishes, ~Renan

If you are going to take the time to make a video the SAY SOMETHING tell us what your doing I don't want to have to try and read tiny things and guess at why it did what it did TELL ME WHAT THE $$#^&##@&!!! your doing
