On a non-delta printer, if you have a Z-probe (also called a proximity sensor), then you don't need a Z end stop at all.

A proximity sensor is a magnet and a hall sensor, right? How would RAMPS/Marlin work with such an analog sensor?
I think, I have some laying around, would be nice to know how to implement it.

I have a broken thumb throttle from my e-bike laying here.
It sends out a very smooth linear signal ,depending on the distance between magnet and hall sensor.
Wouldn´t it be beneficial, if Marlin would "see the endstop coming" and reduce z-speed during z-home procedure, until a programmed value is matched?

RepRapFirmware for Duet electronics does exactly that.

Wow awesome, but I couldn´t find a hint about z-axis sensors...
