I bought [this probe: LJ12A3-4-Z-BY](https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DCbT0mD). It's dimensionally correct, however, _completely untested_!

## Extruder

The parts from a DIY Orbiter V1.5 kit are suitable replacements for this extruder. I'll do a more thorough write-up eventually, but in the meantime, the only parts that differ in the Orbiter are:

- the 3 pronged stem is longer in the Orbiter though that should not be an issue.
- the flanged bearing has a larger OD in the Orbiter.
- I did not compare the filament gears.

After over 600 hours of print time, I saw hardly any wear on the gears in the extruder.

### Aftermarket Options

- [This](https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DE2NRWZ) is the Orbiter kit that I bought and took measurements from, but any other V1.5 kit should do fine.
- [Mellow](https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DdpgYhT) has a great option as well.
