Turned on retraction speed to 11 and i guess it wore down the filament at one part but then managed to push it after some 10 minutes of spaghetti 👌

I have a BLTouch. Perhaps I need to assess how sturdy it’s table is that it lives on.

I have one of those servo sensors that use a microswitch at the end.

The printer has a sturdy frame build from extruded aluminum. That probably makes a lot of difference. I can take the printer, move it into some other surface, turn it on and print, without leveling issues. Before it I had a wooden one without autoleveling. That one needed leveling before each print.
