Z probe micro

BOM:

• 1x optical endstop
• some garbage (spring, m3 screws, 3mm pin)

Assembly:

• You'll need to cut the endstop flag about 3mm to allow full range of movement. Use file to fine tune endstop activation point.
• Everything else is trivial

Operation:

• Slam your x carriage along the x axis against some kind of kicker to deploy probe.
• Do your probing stuff
• Push down along z axis against something attached to heated bed to retract and lock pin all the way up
