Hello.

I use a servo and microswitch on my machines and they work well. Pretty reliable. Although there are times that they do require some z offset adjustments. I print thousands of parts a month so it is natural for the mounts/switches/bolts/nuts to loosen over time and cause changes to the true offset of the switch in the extend position.

That being said, would I gain anything by going to prox probe?

I want to get rid of the mechanial slop of the servo/switch combination and bring my z offset precision up.

I am already set up properly for ABL thanks to Roxy, but I want to take it a step further with prox probes.

tl;dr

1. Is there any benefit to going from an already functional ABL system with servos to prox probe?
2. I make the switch, and I already have ABL in place on my machines, what will be needed to make the switch hardware + firmware changes?

Thank you
