Thinking of adding an Auto bed leveling sensor

[Carlos_510]

I am running a Folger Tech FT5 R2 with the duet wifi control board and Pt-100 sister board, Titan aqua extruder, and factory supplied 24VDC power supply. I am currently printing on a glass bed. We do have an inclosuer and sometimes run PEKK. The temp inside the inclosure is normally around 75-80 Deg C.
I am thinking of adding an auto bed leveling sensor and wanted some input. Do you have any sugestions?

I saw you posted a very similar question under another topic area and I don't want you to think folks are ignoring you. I (like many others I'm guessing) don't have a lot of experience with enclosure temperatures that high. I'm pretty sure the inductive sensors are temp sensitive, so that's probably out. I use a BLTouch and really like it, but my enclosed FT5 doesn't get above about 45C, so I can't confirm that will work for you. I wonder what approach the commercial high temp/enclosed printers use? Best of luck!

I have an FT5 R2 with a duet Wi-fi control board, orignial 24vdc power supply, Titan Aqua extruder. I am thinking of adding a bed leveling sensor. If you have any input that would be great.

I do run this machine in an enclosure to print PEKK from time to time. Internal temperature of the enclosure then is 75 deg C

Please do not create multiple posts of the same question. I'm merging this with the other one.
