Minimalistic Z-Probe
Description
This is a derivate of the Z-Probe, using a micro servo and a minimalistic approach without any printed parts.
Besides a micro servo, you just need 2 paper clips, a M3x20mm bolt (16mm might be also ok), two M3 nuts and some electrical tape.

would it be possible to put some little printed ramps on each end of the build platform that it could ride up after it aligns the z-axis and then it could detect the x and y ends as well?

Hey Zaggo, love your design.
I was going to make one for mine, but the older acrylic platforms won't fit it. But I had a brainwave and came up with something even simpler:
