eZ ABL for ZYLTech Gear v2

This is an automatic bed level for the ZYLTech Gear v3.

I use this solution for bed leveling on several of my other brand printers. The concept is based off the FreeABL by stevohen (for Creality printers). I designed this mount and clip in tinkercad.

Requirements:

Z-stop switch (from an Ender 3)

USB Cable (Cut the ends off)

JST-XHP 2.54mm conector (3-pin) x2

Marlin 2.0.7

The micro-switch needs to be wired with the first two pin of the JST-XHP on both ends of the cable. (I used an USB cable that no longer worked because the ends broke. Cut off the end and just the wires inside.) Remove the (maybe yellow) z-stop connector from the MKS board and replace it with this one. Remove the metal z-stop on the printer frame. Update firmware with the changes in the link below.

Marlin 2.0.7
