This is the best comment I’ve seen on lemmy to date. Kudos.

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.

There are other versions with no pins required. But I found the pin ones hold up better in pla.

Is this loss?

Present sir.
