Once you get up & running again, I'd definitely print up one of the Z-axis crank/stop gadgets for similar occasions in the future. I use mine periodically to help clean the Z-axis lead screw. The bracket has been glued back together and switch is reinstalled. However, since I use Octoprint across m...

Even though it’s tedious I will just have to turn the knob by hand. I wanted to be sure that’s the way to raise the bed. It looks like I need to raise it up about half the distance of the Z axis to get decent access to the switch. Something long enough will need to be placed under the bed to keep it...

I'd be curious to know which version of M2 you have. This is the first I've head of this failure mode, but if your printer uses the same Z-stop mount as my M2E, I think I will print a spare. Thanks!

(edit) I'll give both petg and epc a try. From what I've been reading about the issues with ABS, I don't think I will ever use that filament.

Thanks for the advice

The boat is in a dry rack storage and covered when not in use, but when we have it out on the river it can get pretty hot here in Florida.
