    I snapped a probe of a bltouch from a forgotten print on the bed :( after that day I added a webcam into my octoprint setup!

    On the upside, went crtouch the second time around because if had a shorter metal probe.

      I had the same happen to me! My knockoff bltouch got it’s probe snapped off in an unfortunate speghetti incident. I took it apart and replaced the plastic probe with a bamboo skewer that I cut and shaped to the dimensions of the probe. It’s been working flawlessly for 3 months now.

      I mean, I even had a webcam already with lighting and all - since the incident™ it now gets used before a print and not just whenever 🤷
