User-Interactive Magnetic Field Characterization Employing a 3D Printer as a Three-Axis Motor Stage — •Daniel Feser1,2, Nikolai Weidt1,2, Nikita Popkov2,3, Rico Huhnstock1,2, and Arno Ehresmann1,2 — 1Institute for Physics and CINSaT, University of Kassel, Heinrich-Plett-Str. 40, 34132 Kassel, Germany — 2AIM-ED, Joint Lab of Helmholtzzentrum für Materialien und Energie, Berlin (HZB) and University of Kassel, Hahn-Meitner-Platz 1, 14109, Berlin, Germany — 3Intelligent Embedded Systems, University of Kassel, Wilhelmshöher Allee 71-73, 34121, Kassel, Germany
This project presents a flexible, user-interactive system for three-dimensional magnetic field mapping that repurposes a consumer-grade 3D printer as a precise three-axis positioning platform. A teslameter probe is mounted in a custom-designed and 3D-printed printhead, ensuring stable and accurate field measurements. The printer is controlled through Python-generated G-code, with device coordination handled via the Tango server framework. This system allows users to manually configure scan volumes, adjust measurement parameters, and safely map magnetic fields around sensitive samples while avoiding collisions. The acquired magnetic field data are processed and displayed as heatmaps, enabling intuitive analysis of spatial field variations. Overall, the platform demonstrates a low-cost, adaptable approach to magnetic field characterization using accessible hardware and open-source software.
