Dear #AskFedi #LazyWeb, I've fitted a magnetic removable bed plate to one of my 3D printers which it appears prevents the inductive Z-stop/leveling probe from working properly. (It's an old TronXY X3A). Been looking into what to fit instead; but detecting a distinct odor of rabbit. So, what's the thing people are using for Z probing now? Cheap BL touch clone, just a microswitch, something cooler (I looked into lidar since I have a dozen spare vl53l1x sensors, but apparently not precise enough).

(This particlar printer has no z stop only a bed sensor, so it won't work at all unless I either replace teh bed leveling sensor or fit some other kind of z stop and forgo auto leveling (which is more of a pain anyway imo)

Looking more for "this is the quickest way to get that printer back in service" than "this is what the voron crazies say is the absolute bleeding edge of z-tech" but sure tell me about that also for funsies.

ETA: or if you know how to make the inductive bed sensor continue to work that'd be grand, too. <3 #3DPrinting
