Questions tagged [3dtouch]

A Z-probe based on a Hall effect sensor to enable determining the distance from the nozzle to the bed (and thus the level of the bed).

The Geeetech 3Dtouch, manufactured by Shenzhen Getech Technology Co.,Ltd, is a sensor similar to the BLTouch sensor that enables auto leveling by detection of the build plate level and adjust printing height accordingly by the firmware.
