BL-Touch Protector

This is pressure fit to ensure your bl-touch stays clean and string-free, preventing webbing from interfering with the probe pin's movement in its path. Many people encounter issues with their probes sticking, failing to deploy, or becoming unreliable due to this very problem. Every single instance of a stuck or malfunctioning probe I've seen was caused by stringing or webbing in the probe pin or its pathway. Often, it's nearly invisible. To prevent this and protect the probe pin as much as possible, align the pin with the hole and press down firmly. Due to tight tolerances, ensure your printer is well-calibrated; if not, you may need to slightly enlarge the hole to accommodate the pin's 1.5mm clearance. As always, I appreciate any tips you'd like to share.
