      Re: IR Probe being overly sensitive?

      Is there any way to tell if my mini IR sensor is part of the batch that had the early-triggering failure mode, besides just behavior? I'm trying one out on my new CoreXY build with Duet2, and encountering a problem where most surfaces (wood, paper, hand) seem to trigger it transiently around ~10 mm away, and then again reliably at ~1 mm. Thinking I probably need a replacement if so.

      Is that consistent with what you've seen from the faulty batch of sensors?

          Got it as part of the BluRolls BLV MGN Cube kit on AliExpress, arrived a few weeks ago.

            We saw that fault on a few of our original sensors, before we changed the firmware to avoid it over a year ago.

              I placed an order for a new unit from Printed Solid yesterday, we'll see how that one does.

                New sensor works a charm! Pretty happy with it!
