Auto level probe E3D V6 zero x y offset

thingiverse

Once I added a glass plate to my heated bed, my inductive probe stopped working altogether - not that I was particularly fond of it anyway. Without a z-probe, I quickly became proficient at leveling my bed manually and efficiently, but those pesky imperfections still lingered, usually around 0.1-0.15 mm off from the rest of the bed. With an extra end stop included in my printer kit, I decided to repurpose it as a removable z-level probe, leveraging z-correction to fine-tune my bed's distortion. I designed this setup to easily slide on and off the heater block of my E3D V6 hotend. When attached, the switch is positioned directly below the nozzle at a z-height of approximately 15 mm. To ensure clearance from the bed, I added a slight bend to the switch lever. Using Repeiter Firmware with the probe mounted and bed heated, I can swiftly verify my z-offset and run an auto-level (g32 s2) and z-correction (g33 s2). Once complete, I prefer to run a bed height map to validate my z-correction. As long as everything looks good, I can slide off the z-probe and turn on my hotend, ready to print. From then on, there should be no need to re-run the process unless a change is made to the printer that affects the bed level. To date, I've achieved consistent, repeatable trigger heights down to 0.01 mm with zero deviation.
