After battling for a number of years with the bed leveling Force Sense resistors on my Deltaprintr KS, I decided to have a go at Piezoing it.
The FSRs have worked well, but the second one has failed. I could replace it from a spare, but maybe it is time for a change.
So far, I have not finished this but in the next few days I hope to.
The parts are printed at 0.1mm layers, 100% infill.
27mm Piezo disks are used.
The PiezoBase part has support touching the build plate.

He has done a great job!

When I get it going I'll post circuits and more pictures.
EDIT: It is still a project.
I've added a mod for the top part to have a pushbutton in it. And removed the unused version of the top.
Another EDIT: This works well :) Now I have to clean it up and post the circuit I used.
Also, I have to put a non slip surface on the pushbutton as the acrylic disk base slides around on the PLA.
EDIT: Added some felt pads to the buttons for non slip.
And have a concrete paver under the printer for a bit more stability.
