Two G-Code scripts for probing to touch plate:

You can order the Tiny Touch Plate kit from Ryan at V1 Engineering for less than $9 here: www.v1e.com/pr...
It's also possible you already have in your shop most or all the needed components to make your own touch plate. See list below. (If you don't already have all or almost all of this in your shop, probably ought to buy kit from Ryan at link above):
* Stainless Steel Straight Ruler: amzn.to/3UhEdVo
* Neodymium Disc Magnets, 12 x 3mm: amzn.to/3mhvFkO
* Wire, 22 ga: amzn.to/3Mrlc0Q
* Wire, 18 ga: amzn.to/3mlhTNZ
* 540 pcs Mixed Quick Connect Wire Connectors: amzn.to/40SdOzK
* Glarks 486 pcs Wire Connector Set & Crimper: amzn.to/3Uh2YRv
* Better Crimping Tool (recommended): iCrimp IWS-3220M : amzn.to/3GrlO2I
* Southwire Wire Stripping Tool: amzn.to/43iaAaA
* Super CA Glue: amzn.to/3ZU292d
* Rosin Paste Flux: amzn.to/41dyIJk
* Solder: amzn.to/3KFNnry
(Note: In the video, I mistook the two wire gauges as 20 and 24, but they were likely 18 and 22! Only one is needed, not both, and the 22 gauge is recommended.)
For LowRider (or other CNC) this magnetic tip for your touch plate wire “lead” makes it easy and convenient and sharp looking.
Watch this quick video for about all you need to know on this printed part.
And for more cool details on using the GCode script and/or making your own touch plate, watch the second video (linked below) as well.
• Making a CNC Z Probe
Print settings:
* Print as oriented
* Prints without supports
* Enough perimeter walls to print solid, at least 3 to 4 depending on your wall thickness.
In case you need details on where to plug the wires from your probe (touch plate) into your control board, assuming a BigTreeTech SKR board on a LowRider using V1E firmware with dual end stops, the probe is to be connected to Z-min, as shown in this image:

Hello. I have now finished building my lr3 and everything works well. your videos have been very helpful, much appreciated.
Awesome! Happy to help!
thank you so much for this code lol i was so lost with this
Glad to help!
@@design8studio can you tell me why my tool path is also being cut
Can I use smaller magnets and attach them just with glue? I have some around, with smaller diameter and I don't wanna purchase a package of new magnets just to get two of them:)
@@zemlejna1 probably would work! All depends on the strength of the magnets.
@@design8studio I will test it out then! And will let you know. :)
Btw - do I also need custom code for the jackpot? I'll check the v1e forum too.
Thank you Doug for what you do!
@@zemlejna1 There is a macro script for the Jackpot that I use for probing, but there are also default, built-in options in the FluidNC web interface for probing. You only need a custom script if you want to make it probe a special way, such as moving fast on first touch off, then slow (from up close) on a second touch off. I've posted my script for that both on the V1E forum and on the description of one or more of my videos here on UA-cam. As for exactly which video, I think perhaps it was a video about tramming the gantry to the table, while using the Jackpot.
Love the low rider videos keep them coming... Where did you learn to do the gcode can u made a video teaching how too? Thanks 🙏
Thanks! Most of the script came from the other video I linked to in the description and in the Printables listing. Other parts are just from a mix of experience and googling! I don't feel like enough of an expert to do a video on G-Code yet, but there are some other guys on the V1 Engineering forum that are genuine pros at it!
@@design8studio thanks your videos are very helpful much appreciated
Can you tell my why my tool path is being cut also
So, when something is being cut that you didn’t want to be cut, there are really only two possibilities. One is that you programmed it correctly, but your machine is malfunctioning. However, malfunctions usually look more like binding up, skipping steps, and cutting crooked and crazy lines. When it’s cutting a shape that is a correct shape - just not something that you want to cut- that indicates that it’s doing what you told it to do, only you just didn’t realize you told it to do that. Are you using ESTLcam for preparing your files to send to the machine?
@@design8studio yes I am I followed the guide word for work except for the probing part where I found this video
@@dattisha27 which guide are we talking about? Is it in ESTLcam guide? Or a CNC milling guide on the V1 engineering website? For ESTLcam, if you have a stray cut line present in your file that you didn’t intend to be a cut line, you can click on it, and then delete it. If you then re-output the file, it should not be cutting what you deleted.
@@design8studio the guide on the lowrider build page for the Estlcam after I select what I want cut I don’t see the travel lines until I put it into repetitr host also on some cuts my z won’t rise it will just go straight to the next location causing a cut 18mm deep sometimes throwing the machine off from travel
@@dattisha27 Each time you set up a cut you have the opportunity to tell ESTLcam where the start height of the cut should be. Also, you have control over a safe height level, which is supposed to be the height at which it retracts to after each cut. It sounds like somewhere you have at least one of these values off.
