Home on anything with any tool automatically on an Ender 3 pro
Proper Printing
In this video I show an alternative homing method which is a bit similar to the BLTouch. This method uses a modified quick tool change base and its possible to home on any surface of any thickness with any tool with just an ordinary homing switch.
I start the video with that I think I have something better than the BLTouch. I haven't even seen one in real life, let alone used it, so there's no way for me to be sure about this. Based on what I have seen I think that this method works better for my situation, but please leave a message if you think differently :)
