Now shipping the new V2 Orion PCB.
 
The latest development in piezo Z-probing offering better accuracy, easier assembly, easier tuning and greater durability.
 
Accuracy, the Orion module has shown in tests to improve upon the Piezo20 module and acheive 0.005mm accuracy (5um)
Ease of assembly, the Orion module has only three parts and five screws. Brass threaded inserts already in place.
Rigidity, the Orion module does not rely on the strength of the piezo disk to hold the clamp in place. Ease of tuning,no fiddling with assembly bolts during tuning, just screw it down tight and leave it alone. Also includes easy tune tech from the PP20 v1.1 circuit
Durability, no delicate piezo solder joints in the Orion module. Brass threaded inserts make for much more robust connections.
Flexibility, today we are launching four different kits, groovemount and screwmount each with the option of bowden or direct drive feed. Dedicated kits for the CR-10 family and TronXY X5s are on the way. Hotend clamps for E3D Chimera/Cyclops and Microswiss hotend under development.
Modularity, Hotend clamps and printer mounting adapters are modular, simply print a different mount/clamp if you change your hotend or printer
Integrated bowden fitting, bowden versions come with an integrated bowden collet allowing use of a wider range of hotends without issue.

The PrecisionPiezo Orion module fits between your extruder/carriage and your hot end and provides a triggered signal when your nozzle touches the print bed. In testing the Orion module has achieved repeatability of 0.005mm (5um) with a standard deviation of 0.003. The Orion module can be used with any printing surface including Printbite, PEI, Buildtak, Glass, Aluminium, FR4, Lokbuild, if you find a surface that doesn't work let please us know.

Other advantages of the PrecisionPiezo Orion module:
Is permanently fixed, no servos, no deploying required
No X or Y offsets, your nozzle is the tool, so use the nozzle to probe
Uses a standard endstop connector
Can be used for Z_min endstop, auto bed levelling and delta calibration
Easy to configure in your firmware
Replaces inductive probes, IR probes, Capacitative probes, FSR's, servo probes
Illuminates on probing.
Module is very stiff, nozzle remains firm.

We are pleased to offer a 6 months return to base warranty on this product, excluding failure of the printed parts, and failure that can be directly attributed to user error in assembly.


Much more information can be found at Reprap Forum. This module is an implementation of the work of Njål Brekke, Mike Simpson , Idris Nowell and Simon Khoury, all members of the open source 3D printing community.
 
We are constantly developing and improving our products based on our development and feedback from our customers. As a result there may be minor differences between the pictures of the product and the kit you receive however function will be identical or better.
