Z probe with microswitch and servo HXT900 using Anycubic Ultrabase Anet A8 AM8 on 18mm bracket sensor inductive capacitive

I am no longer using HXT900, this servo is bad and nearly jittering. I am switching to metal gear and digital servo HK 15148B, the best value servo available. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3475467 on Anet A8 AM8 is a great example of how well this servo performs. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3475454 on Hypercube Evolution also showcases its capabilities. This design supports mounting an 18mm bracket inductive sensor, just like the one shown here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2207765. Klipper firmware is truly exceptional, breaking through the limitations of 8-bit boards and allowing for incredibly fast printing with high quality results. There's no lag when printing curved objects. Ultrabase media also delivers great performance. However, I've encountered issues with the z-probe on this machine. The Bl Touch deviation was poor, and the inductive sensor wasn't much better. Precision piezo sensors are too complex to tune and can be influenced by high temperatures - I typically print ABS on this machine. In conclusion, an old-school microswitch is my preferred choice for a z-probe due to its affordability, reliability, and precision. Sorry about my poor English skills. The combination of Klipper firmware, Ultrabase media, and microswitch z-probe is the best setup for me. You can also check out my configuration example on the Klipper firmware. Here's a video demonstrating this setup: https://youtu.be/5MP9mVy1HJ4. This mod is designed specifically for the x-carriage of this design: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2207765.
