The first thing I did was add a MOSFET, so I’m pretty confident nothing is going to catch fire.

I have one installed as well and it should take care of anything, but one time when I was changing the nozzle out the temp probe fell loose on the heater and if I hadn't been sitting right there it would have caught on fire.  There are lots of little things that can go wrong that just makes me weary. 


That bed leveling kit is a bit on the steep side.  I think you can get what you actually need for $20 or less.

I’ve seen cheap knockoffs, but I’m a firm believer that you get what you pay for. The thing I like, if you read the reviews, is that the seller really stands behind the product. To me that’s worth the extra costs.
Howard_Casto:
No that's not what I mean.  The "kit" that comes with the other parts is unnecessary.  You can buy the same sensor by itself cheaper.

True, but it’s convenient that it’s all together, plus again the guy gives impeccable support. That’s worth it to me.
Howard_Casto:
Fair enough.  Let me know how it works for you because I've been thinking of doing the auto-level mod but half of everybody out there says it isn't worth it.  Never sure who to believe on these things.  I just know that calibration is a pain in the butt when you haven't used it in a while.
