RRD Fan extender and Servo Z-probe

Hello! I have a ramps 1.4 and an RRD fan extender is taking up all the servo pins. I would like to be able to control a servo for Z-probing. Where can I connect the servo instead of the "servo section"?

Have you considered an inductive auto bed leveling probe? They are well supported and plug into the standard end stop plugs with no servo required.

Or you could use my IR Z probe - as used on the E3D BigBox printer and the T3P3 Mini Kossel - which is smaller and lighter than either a servo probe or an inductive probe. See [www.escher3d.com].

I resisted for a long time, but DC42's sensor is very good and I am very pleased with it.
