So do I need the z axis endstop at all? Could you possibly link me to that thread? Thanks.

I have an I3 with auto bed leveling and with a hall sensor used as z-probe.
It retracts the probe when it moves to the bed because the magnet is attracted to another one on top of the probe.
Thus however will cause a short trigger of the hall sensor.
If marlin would stop when the z-end stop is triggered then this shouldn't work.

Here is the thread. The probe for the auto bed level essentially becomes your z endstop. However, some people for the sake of safety keep the z endstop as a failsafe just in case something happens and the probe doesn't work and isn't available to stop the z movement.
