    Curious to know how many of you use some sort of z-probe to find zero instead of the eyeball / piece of paper method. The probe is a pain in the ***

    Use the XYX Probe Plus, it is zero pain (;

    Probing is a lot quicker, easier and more accurate than jogging, testing, jogging, checking, etc

    Robert,
    Why do you feel probing is a pain in the.....? It is seriously much quicker and more accurate

    I just ran a test comparison, using the probe versus setting manually. The probe was MUCH more accurate. I’ll continue with this route!

    I was happy using the paper, then I built a Z probe, and now I use it all the time.
    Optoisolated Z probe
