I was asked to try out an infrared ABL probe that I hadn't featured before, and compare it to popular ABL probes. In this video, I put the Aus3D IR Z probe, BLtouch, EZABL, superPINDA, Touch Mi and a miroswitch to the test to compare accuracy, pisces, ease of installation and more. The results are a big win for 3D printer owners overall.
