    I noticed on the Dozuki page regarding accelerometers, it was mentioned that using one for a z probe is not currently supported. Is there any support planned for this in the future? Also, would anyone be willing to briefly describe how that would work?

      You'd tap the nozzle into the bed and register the impact with the accelerometer. Similar to stall detection or piezo probing.

        @gwatson90 it's on our list to look at, but not high priority. The response time of the accelerometer would probably be too slow to allow a fast probing speed.
