I decided to install a PINDA2 (no thermistor used) inductive probe to my Eustathios Spider V2. Since I didn’t feel like re-doing my entire carriage I built it to utilize the existing BLtouch Mount. No support is required to print. Additionally I added a Ultistik spring steel bed to my print and love it. I was spoiled by the MK3S at work and felt like a caveman with plain PEI.
I am still trying to refine the touch routine, but have had much great success than with my old BLtouch.
Looks great, one question why did you go with pinda over the BL touch? I only ask because I’ve had really good luck with my BL touch on the printers I put it on.
Only because I have a very old version of the BLtouch, and something is obviously wrong with it, or it doesn’t work with smoothie. You can find a pinda2 for 10 bucks. BLtouch is ~$35. So realistically it’s cost, combined with simplicity because inductive probes don’t have any moving parts. I was also worried that if I purchased a new BLtouch, I would have the same issues I had with my existing BLtouch.
