# The Pyr0-Piezo Z-Axis Sensor
## What is this thing?
TL;DR: It's a litte circuit that turns your actual nozzle into a z-probe.
This is a Z-Probe Sensor for 3D Printers that utilizes a piezoelectric element (commonly a 20-27mm piezo disk used in musical pickups) to detect when the nozzle of the printer touches the bed. There have been other Z-Probes in the past that do this, but this is the first to incorporate an onboard microcontroller that automatically calibr
