| - | The Neptune 4 is equipped with an inductive probe that triggers from the metal build plate and measures the distance from the probe to the plate which in turn is translated to a Z distance of the nozzle above the bed. | + | The Neptune 4 is equipped with an inductive probe that triggers from the metal build plate and measures the distance from the probe to the plate which in turn is translated to a Z distance of the nozzle above the bed. Because of this operation without the plate or trying to use glass or garolite plates can result in nozzle crashes. |
