Manual Grid Mesh Levelling
-
Yes I have previously had BLtouch that got ripped off from a loose print.. then replaced it and it it died from a head crash, I had a Duet IR Sensor, same fate. so I tried Piezo and it worked for a while but isn't reliable.

So now I'm going back to just a optical homing switch, and manual mesh levelling

using 3x Piezo sensors under my bed. and its less sensitive towards the back of the bed, and often doesnt pickup probe points on all areas..
that sounds like its not working well
-
@Veti exactly why im going back to a simple setup with manual mesh levelling
-
Probe type P0 will work in a pinch.
Even stall detection on Z may work for you if you meet a few requirements.

Wow. That is a one streak of bad luck.
How about an inductive sensor - they are quite sturdy - and if you don't use a bed with any sort of magnets they work very well.

Yeah - so am I - really like it but it means no more inductive sensor - back to the noisy BLTouch.

I didnt realize the magnets interfered with inductive sensors, how does prusa get away with it?

Perhaps they arrange the probe points to be away from the magnets?

Precisely this.

So going back to my original ask.
to setup Grid Mesh leveling Manually. is there an easy way to do this?

Easy? That depends on what you consider easy.
My first reply to you covered how to set the Z probe configuration to allow bed probing when there is no Z probe.

Setting m558 P0 and then using g29 as normal will ask you to manually jog the nozzle to touch the bed at each point.

It works - I used to do it before I went ahead and installed a Z probe.
Have you considered a removable Z probe - then it cannot get damaged during normal operations.

Printers: A FT-5 with the 713 upgrade bits, a custom MarkForged style, a small Utilmaker style, a small CoreXY from kit and a E3D MS/TC setup. Various hotends. Using Duets (2 and 3) running 3.4.6

this one is very cheap and works well on my delta

with this, look like you need to run the hotend, cold I assume.
an interesting idea -
@fcwilt havent really but definately something to consider
but so gar the G29 manual is working for me.Thank you for your help with this.

If you are running a Duet 3 with the SBC, I have released an automated way to probe around the magnets and still get a valid heightmap:
