# Klicky-00: Zero X,Y offset probe (WIP)
# Klicky-00: Zero X,Y offset probe (RC2)

Building on the amazing work of JosAr ([Klicky Probe](https://github.com/jlas1/Klicky-Probe)), whoppingpochard ([PCB Klicky](https://github.com/tanaes/whopping_Voron_mods/tree/main/pcb_klicky)), and Majarspeed ([Unklicky](https://github.com/majarspeed/Unklicky)) this mod moves the probe directly under the nozzle (X,Y 0,0) and also has the nozzle touching the probe so that you can reliably use it as your z endstop with consistent z-offset. All the usual caveats about clean nozzles during probing apply here too.

The goal of this probe is to give TAP-like consistency with repeatable Z-offset even when changing nozzles.
The goal of this probe is to give accurate, nozzle probe-like, repeatable Z-offset on a budget even when changing nozzles.

> [!NOTE]
> Development is completed first for Xol-Toolhead on Xol-Carriage at this stage
> There are StealthBurner and Archetype versions available that have been confirmed as working by community members`

#### Constraints:
* Low cost
* Easy access to required parts
* Simple add-on to existing ecosystem
* Simple add-on to existing ecosystems

### Currently in "release candidate (RC)" status
Versions have been community tested on Xol Toolhead, Archetype and Stealthburner. Many gremlins have been worked out already, but things are still being found as more and more people join the fun of Klicky-00.

### This is work in progress
It has been tested on Xol-Toolhead and is giving good results. All early development will be based on PCB Klicky for consistent mounting pattern. An untested version that connects with standard Klicky magnets has been uploaded. If you test it, please provide feedback.

> [!WARNING]
> You need to have a good understanding of Klicky (+macro settings), probes, offsets and Klipper.
It is highly recommended to have a working PCB Klicky or standard Klicky already installed on your toolhead and configured. Follow the instructions from Josar on the Klicky-Probe Github:
[klipper configuration](https://github.com/jlas1/Klicky-Probe/tree/main/Printers/Voron/v1.8_v2.4_Legacy_Trident#step-5-klipper-configuration)<br/>
Make sure to include the steps for [Klicky Probe as Endstop with constant Z-Offset](https://github.com/T4KUUY4/Voron-Stuff/tree/main/KlickyProbeZoffset).


> [!IMPORTANT]
> Klicky-00 is a Loooong probe. It doesn't fit behind the print bed of a standard Voron 2.4 or Trident build without a dock that retracts the probe. See "Bump dock" instructions below.
> `Should be OK with StealthBurner version as the probe is ~5.5mm shorter`

> [!WARNING]
> You need at least 5mm travel on Y past the back of your build plate for this to work.

## Klicky-00 Probe
The probe is built from components of other projects. The original concept of this project is putting the probe under the nozzle in a repeatable/automatable way.
