Capacitive sensors are meant for gate operations, not distance measuring and are shit in any unstable environment like your kitchen, garage, unheated room, etc., basically everywhere your average /3dpg/ user puts their printer, as shown by our based boy 6years ago https://youtu.be/il9bNWn66BY.. There's a reason why everyone experimented with lasers/IR/ToF in general before we agreed on solid aluminium plates.

>People say bowdens suck because they use a bad extruder then upgrade to direct drive with a decent extruder and omagoooood waaaaow it werks now.
There's a very subjective truth to that. On a baseline precision should always improve with DD as nobody in current year got a clue how to compensate for the length of their tube, less so on chink machines. Ultimaker supports first question is probably still "Did you modify your bowden tube?".
