    Lately ive got the issue that the button sticks, wich causes the Z endstop being pressed all time,
    I was already guessing this would happen due the hairspray,
    Do you have any advice ?
    I guess i will try and leave it like that unstucked, for 3 days and afterwards replace it if it didnt go away.

    Wow! That is horrible! The only thing I can think of would be to soak the switch in acetone. But given how cheap those switches are, I don't think I would risk it. I suspect it would be safe to soak it in acetone but the problem is you can't see what is inside. I would be worried the opposite thing would happen. I would worry a thin film of plastic got deposited on the contacts and then everything would act flakey.

    I kind of risk the same thing spraying hair spray on the bed with the probe measuring things. But the good news is I'm spraying down and the switch button is kind of shielded. But I'm going to be more careful going forward!

    Just as an update, It kinda resolved now,
    After a few clicks i gave it every few hours, it kinda became better and better.

    I did have a few crashes tho, that it pressed once, went up, went back down and didnt stop immeaditly lol.. Hopefuly that doesnt happen anymore :P

    /edit
    Just had it again, weird it just goes to the platform, totaly pressed and just doesnt stop lol..

    /edit
    Well i guess i have found the problem, and a solution, I guess my glass was just to dirty of hairspray that it seem to have probems with it,
    I cleaned it and it does it again just fine.
