Will this Touch Probe Work?

SainSmart CNC Router Z-Axis Tool Setting Touch Probe, Compatible with Grbl/Mach 3

Better yet, what touch probe works with Shapeokos? I guess Carbide3d is not making their touch probes any more.

Thanks,

There is an offset for the height of the probe. Actually there are 2 offsets, one for X Y and Z with the overhang and another one for Z only. The C3D one is baked into CM. I would think that you would need to use a 3rd party gcode sender to use another probe. I am not an expert on the internals of CM but I know of no way to input alternate parameters for a 3rd party probe. The 3rd party gcode senders allow you to write your own macro for the touch probe you have. I am sure others will chime in.

That makes a lot of sense. Seems spring for the C3D product is the smart move.

Thanks
