Sexbolt Neccessary with Euchlid probe.

[KnotI]

Hello, new to voron but not 3D printing. The sexbolt Z endstop, Is it neccessary if I am using a euclid probe ?

You can configure the probe as a virtual endstop. Thus you don't need the physical endstop.
But you can also use both, it's what I do.
Or are you asking if you should upgrade the z endstop that came with your kit to the sexbolt endstop?

I was asking if I can use both I suppose? I wasn't entirely sure I could. What are the pros and cons to using both.

I use PCBklicky and normal z endstop.
I guess that way you don't have to get and attache the probe for z home.
I also use klipper auto z script, if the nozzle changes or bed heats I get the same z offset. Which is pretty neat.

But unless you often switch the nozzle you probably get a similar results from using your probe as a virtual z endstop.

Maybe someone with experience in virtual z can say something more about using it. Seems simpler.
