      I am going to switch from a Z sensor back to an endstop for a little while.
      What parts of the config.g file will need to be changed to accomodate that?

        In config.g you'll need to define the type of switch and it's location.
        In your homing files you'll need to remove the G30 command to probe Z and replace it with a G1 S1 Z move to seek the endstop switch.

        You can also remove the references to G31 and M558 from config.g if you won't be using the probe at all for things like mesh compensation (G29)
