I decided to start simple and just use the UGS functionality and a cheapo Z probe-pad. Probing works fine but the result don’t seem right. If I do a return to zero after the probe I am about 1/16" above the material. I could fudge the probe width but I want to know what is actually happening here (some mysterious parameter?). Screenshots attached:
Just after probe finishes
Just after return to zero button pressed
Try the nightly build, there is an improved probe plugin.
I’ll send mine over in the am but I too use the nightly build
Just to confirm the UGS nightly build (platform / 64 bit in my case) works fine. The added animation is kinda ugly but the point is that it does the job. It also has an x-y capability.
Well kinda. Mine doesn’t have the cute little Mac round cornered tabs but more or less the same on Windooz. I am currently only using the Z tab.
Is the plate thickness correct?
I use UGS Platform for the probe features. It has worked perfectly on all axis probe options available (well, in the short time I’ve had the probe anyway 
)
What pad did you get?
Not sure which of us you’re asking but I have two:
One that can do edges, Z and centering
The cheap Z plate had a decent set of wires so I put a connector on the end and I can plug either plate into the controller depending on the circumstance
Perfect, thank you…
