    The interface module which do everything is just the cheapest one I found locally. It called a buck boost module but that doesn't really narrow it down. Other than that it's just 2 binding posts and whatever supply you want. I used a barrel jack plug to reuse my old laptop charger.

    Not everyone cup-of-tea, but build123d/cadquery is pretty good if you like programming. I used it to make some dovetails joint which would be annoying to do with gui cad.

    Why all of a sudden tech companies are not being favorable to their users?

    While these changes will eventually happen, as all of these companies are meant to make a profit from the start. The reason they're all happening now is because of the coming recession, or at least the believe that it will come.

  • Does bltouch style probe supposed to work with textured PEI surface?

    Yes. I'm certain it is a build quality problem. The probe is just plastic and by design hang freely. Even a steel rod with bearing can easily be deflected by a few tens of micron.

    I meant the probe is deflected by the texture. Taking multiple sample is what I'm doing, yes. It take at least 5 samples for it to be reasonably smooth, which is why I'm asking other experience.

  • I have a bltouch clone which work fine on glass bed. After switching to textured PEI sheet, it's variance trippled to 0.1mm, which make my bed mesh all wobbly. I'm I suppose to remove the steel plate when making the bed mesh? Do you home Z with a probe with this setup? The weirdest thing is, despite all this all my prints adhere completely fine. I guess PEI is just that good.
