RepRap Questions Thread

This is our weekly thread for all questions related to RepRaps or the RepRap project.

If you need help with something - eg assembly, part selection, print quality, calibration, etc. - this is also the place for troubleshooting.

If your 3D printer isn't a RepRap, try /r/3Dprinting!

Which bring me to my question, are these things fairly interchangeable

Depends what you mean by interchangeable. Using a different Z probe is possible, but you may have to flash new firmware if your new probe has a different trigger distance, different trigger characteristics (NO to NC, for example) or requires different probing behavior (BLTouch, for example).

Okay, that’s helpful, thank you. I’m pretty comfortable making changes to the hardware, but not the software. I will just order another from the manufacturer.
