The sensitivity and thermal drift figures in the table below are relative improvements rather than absolute measurements.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin: 25px 0 15px;\"\u003eContact Mode\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\tContact is one of two probing modes, alongside proximity, the non-contact scanning the probe is better known for. The nozzle physically touches the bed and the sensor detects the moment its own Z motion is interrupted, with no switch or moving parts. Either mode can be selected per command or set as the config default.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\tContact handles automatic Z offset and model calibration, and placed in a print start macro it recalibrates on every print, so nozzle and plate changes stop mattering. It is also immune to fixed magnets and to metallurgical variation in the plate, meaning beds that scan mode cannot read are often still workable.
