## What it is
Klicky Probe is an open-source 3D printer bed probe design using a microswitch with magnetic attachment, primarily aimed at CoreXY printers like Voron models. It includes Klipper macros for automating probe attach, dock, and usage, plus documentation for adapting it to other printers.

## Use cases
- replace BLtouch or Omron inductive probes on a Voron printer
- build a cheap, highly repeatable bed probe without soldering
- automate attaching and docking a removable probe with Klipper macros
- improve Z offset accuracy with automatic Z calibration
- probe all print surface types with minimal temperature variation

## When to choose
- you run a Voron or other CoreXY printer with Klipper and want a drop-in magnetic probe
- you want a low-cost, solder-free, highly repeatable probing solution
- you want to reuse spare parts and avoid toolhead replacement

## When to avoid
- you need a probe for a printer without documented Klicky support and cannot do CAD adjustments
- you prefer an off-the-shelf commercial probe over a DIY printed build
- your firmware is neither Klipper nor RRF
