Fully automatic z-offset with different beds and or nozzles. https://github.com/protoloft/klipper_z_calibration takes some initial tweaking but it’s awesome

It's from auto z calibration plugin. If you have klicky, it's the bees knees. https://github.com/protoloft/klipper_z_calibration

I doubt it matters but I am running auto-z-calibrate [ https://github.com/protoloft/klipper_z_calibration ] with klicky probe + sexbolt.

Klipper Z Calibration GitHUB
Klicky Probe with Dockable_Probe.md
3 projects | /r/VORONDesign | 8 Feb 2023

so lately i'm reading a lot about Probes like the Quickdraw_Probe or Klicky-Probe. Currently using a PL-08N2 for probing. Now the will to change to a klicky probe is here looking forward to use klipper_z_calibration Plugin. So quickdraw would be a nice drop-in and everything seems easy, but vor my Voron 1.8 i can't find a decent looking dock for the probe. On the other side Klicky-Probe looks quite similar and especially the dock for the Voron 1.8 looks promising. My problem now is with the Software. I'm planning to use the Klipper specific "Dockable_Probe.md" to be most directly integrated into Klipper without the fuss dealing with those additional *.cfg's Klicky-Probe brings with it. But ony Quickdraw seems to make use of Dockable_Probe.md and Klicky as i said comes with a big load of additional cfg's i don't want to fiddle with.

Loving that TAP
2 projects | /r/VORONDesign | 13 Jan 2023

There's Unklicky Tap which still has amazing accuracy, and only require a few magnets, screws, and printed parts to build. And you can always just easily swap to an OptoTAP later whenever you manage to get one.
Probe accuracy

The UnKlicky is said to be potentially even more accurate than the original and isn't really any more difficult to build if you want to try to get even more out of it

Thanks for the Unclicky reference, didn’t hear about it anywhere.
