The BigTreeTech Eddy V1.1 is the first auto bed levelling probe to use Eddy currents for fast non-contact levelling in just seconds, compatible with Klipper.
Automatic bed levelling probes have greatly improved from flimsy plastic probes to fancy touch sensors, but there are still innovative surprises in this ever-growing industry. An uneven bed is often the main reason a print fails, and Makers have wasted hours meticulously adjusting every nob and watching every first layer for their prints. But this BigTreeTech Eddy Auto-Levelling Sensor changes the game by introducing bed levelling with Eddy currents, a non-contact and super high-speed option for getting that pristine first layer down.
It is remarkably easy to nerd out over the electrical engineering involved to make the BigTreeTech Eddy V1.1 Sensor so fast and accurate as a new automatic levelling system. In short, the Eddy V1.1 shoots off magnetic fields to create Eddy currents as it moves across your bed. Without ever making physical contact, Eddy is able to sense and map out your printer’s bed remarkably fast. On a typical 250x250mm heated bed, the BTT Eddy can achieve rapid bed levelling in only 20 seconds. The sensor tells your printer exactly how the printing platform is positioned. So, even if the bed is slightly unlevelled, your printer will compensate by moving the nozzle up and down with the level of the bed. This means your hotend’s movements are even more precise, enhancing print quality and significantly reducing failures due to poor bed adhesion.
Designed to be compatible with Klipper printers, this BigTreeTech Eddy Auto-Levelling Kit is an easy upgrade with an included USB cable and mounting screws. You’d find this upgrade a great choice for Voron printers or any printer using a board with Klipper and a space USB interface. The ultra-speed of the BTT Eddy V1.1 sensor is its greatest advantage, allowing you to run the bed level check before every print to ensure success without losing much printing time.

Although many people may not quite recognise the name, BIQU is a fantastic brand that originated as BigTreeTech, and began their journey in the 3D Printing world by creating motherboards and other electronics that were made to enhance the functionality, ease of use and overall capabilities of other 3D Printers. However, after gaining a firm popularity as some the leaders in 3D Upgrades, they have also now branched off and created BIQU, a brand dedicated to creating entire 3D Printers for hobbyists like us.
Compared to many of the brands on the market, what we particularly love about BIQU is the way that their models come fully equipped with all of the exciting BigTreeTech controller boards, stepper drivers and other awesome components that are typically installed into other 3D Printers as powerful upgrades. These include the popular SKR motherboards, the BTT TMC Drivers, BTT TFT displays and other minor (but still valuable) upgrades that are often installed on Creality 3D Printers, but since these “upgrades” come stock on BIQU 3D Printers, you can enjoy even more reliable operations and functionality due to the fact that their machines are built specifically with their own boards and components in mind. This has resulted in BIQU creating some of the leading 3D Printers on the market, which don’t need any upgrades or improvements to match the quality of leading brands, and with many of the BIQU models actually surpassing the quality and capabilities of most other Hobbyist 3D Printers on the market.
If you love the idea of upgrading 3D Printers with all kinds of fun and functional upgrades, but aren’t too interested in getting a basic model that you have to actually upgrade yourself, the BIQU range of 3D Printers is the answer, bringing excellent quality coupled with all of the current best features available to 3D Makers.
