Having a Creality Ender 3 Pro. Have upgraded the mainboard to a new Silent mainboard. Installed this Extroduer and also have a glass bed. I also purchased another glass bed to exchange the scratched one.

What should I do about my problem? Is my only solution to buy a CR-Touch Sensor? How does the sensor even work? Will it also scratch it when I am not careful enough or is it user friendly and fully automated?

I don’t have any other bed except the glas one for now. Should I rather purchase a flexible sheet for the bed instead of a glas bed?

    I still use Z clickers instead of CR Touch. My lowest low with the clicker/lever makes the Nozzle stop below my bed. I could remove the glas bed to shrink my bed and maybe put a metal sheet on it or purchase a thin plate, but with the glas bed, the lowest Low I can get with all the 4 corners is not low enough for the nozzle to not touch the bed.

      The steps are the same regardless of what you’re using for a Z sensor. The only issue I see is if your limit sensor physically won’t allow the gantry to move lower due to its mounting position otherwise it’s a ‘soft limit’ set exclusively in the firmware (which the above steps allow you to reconfigure).
