Probe Targets

Probing is a critical step for achieving a successful multilayer print. Since you're printing over multiple layers of ink, it's essential to create an accurate height map of the surface.

You can generate probe targets by selecting a layer, setting your probe pitch value, Edge Probe Factor, and clicking the Generate Probe Targets button.

Probe Pitch

The probe pitch set's the maximum distance between probing measurements. This means that a smaller probe pitch creates a more accurate map, but takes longer to complete. This setting works the same way for multi-layer printing as regular prints. The Edge Probing Factor is how we accommodate multi-layer printing.

Edge Probing Factor

The edge probing factor is used to to provide denser probing around the layer transition edges. The layer transition edge probe pitch equals to normal probe pitch times edge probing factor.

eg. If probe pitch is set to 5mm, edge probing factor is 0.33, then transition edge probe pitch is 5*0.33 = 1.65mm

Custom Probe Targets

With plan you can now customize the location of your probing targets by adding or deleting targets.

• You can add probe targets by pressing the alt key and clicking on your design.

• You can delete probe targets by selecting a target and clicking the delete key. You can select multiple targets at a time by holding down the ctrl key.
