The tip of my bed probe bltouch broke (new one underway, but the print must go) I glued on some filament. And it seems to just work fine again!

I have always eyeballed the levelling. Only time it didn't work properly was when I used anything other them my own eyes

Man, I've built several of my own printers, and bought a few more over the years. Auto bed leveling was an absolute game changer, even on bought printers. The days of doing the paper slide trick can go away forever as far as I'm concerned.
