I’d like to hear (read) a bit more about this. I keep looking for a universal (not just metallic) probe but have the same issues. Too tall, odd sizes (or metric), cheap chinese junk…
After taking apart the Bitsetter several times to clean it out, I have to imagine a probe wouldn’t be rocket surgery, but tolerances would have to be pretty tight. Thinking about ways to use the same kind of proximity sensor & allow both vertical & horizontal movement without any slop.
