Inductive Proximity Sensor Detection Switch NPN DC6-36V 4mm Normally Open proximity switch, also known as Inductive sensors, metal sensors. For those who 3D print a lot or 3D printing beginners, manually leveling a 3D printer can be time-consuming and a bit mysterious. Getting it “just right” requires a good eye and constant attention while printing the first layer. Well, here comes the Inductive proximity sensor switch for 3D printer auto-leveling.
This inductive proximity sensor switch makes the auto-leveling function for 3D printers more accurate and convenient. This feature will enable your printer to take several bed leveling readings and calculate a level plane so your prints are always level. While printing each layer, your z-axis will be in constant motion to compensate for an un-level bed.
