Just changed out my hotend on my 3dp module and the new quick swap back plate blocks access to the screw to adjust the proximity sensor.
Am I really meant to mount it the old way just to adjust this then put the quick swap plate back on??
Huh, interesting point… I guess nobody thought about that, since adjusting the sensor is something you rarely do. So yes, I guess you have to remove the toolhead plate for accessing the sensor’s screw.
Two things: The sensor should be one credit-card-thickness higher than the nozzle - but there’s no need for utter precision IMHO, since the fine tuning is done when you lower the nozzle onto the calibration card after the bed level procedure - that’s where precision counts. Second: I guess you could do the procedure without even mounting the toolhead - just eyeballing it on a flat surface (e.g., your table). But I never did that, so I may be wrong.

yeah, I don’t think it’s that big of a deal. Sensor height is set and forget. Until you introduce drastic changes, you can but at that point it’s already apart.
