This may be a question I should ask on the 3d printer general. Suppose I were to change my bottom plate to aluminium, make it conduct, and add a probe(or two) to the extruder assembly to calibrate and build a coordenate system upon the points collected, where it would record as soon as there's contact. How could I go about detecting the edge of the plate? I can define the axes of the volume, but I can't think of a way to define the size and positioning of the plate automatically without having to drag the probe(s) along the surface and scratch it.
The reason I'm going with two probes, is so one can be spring loaded and lowered onto the plate faster. The other one is fixed and placed slowly onto the plate.
