Hey, I wanted to share with you guys my take on the touch probe holder. My design uses a magnet to hold the magnetic clip. Let me know what you think
You can buy the digital file or the physical item on my etsy shop:

Final Touch probe holder… with the Touch Probe itself.
The magnetic end of the Touch Probe was printed with glittery PLA, which is odd.

Sweet!! where did the glittery pla come from?
I thought it was a nice touch. Was I wrong?

Charley -
Not wrong at all, but definitely a different touch - surprising really. Initially, I kept trying to wipe the “dust” off, until I realized it was the filament. Was it the Prusa Galaxy Black?
I got it on Amazon. Here is a link:

Made a probe holder by milling it out of a 2x6.
Inspired by this design.
Recently broke an Amana 1/4" bit and replaced it with this Align Carbide compression bit.
This replacement bit has blown me away it terms of it’s smoothness. Never had results like these even with Amana price tag!
I milled mine out of a larger piece of 2x6 so that I could more effectively clamp the stock down.
Finished it by cutting it free from the stock on the table saw.
If you are interested in making one yourself, I am attaching the Fusion360 model.

As a person who likes to save money, I found a guy on Etsy who makes touch proble holders. His listing was for the PWN touch probe but included a reference to customizing one for your needs. He made one for my Onefinity touch probe. The best part it was only$10.00 and includes shipping. The choice between fabircating my own or buying one was pretty easy. The guy is super at communicating. I swear his phone is attached to him. Here is a link to the Etsy page : https://www.etsy.com/listing/4297314884/xyz-probe-holder-for-onefinity-cnc-probe
For what it is worth, I bought it with my oen money and I am not getting paid for this. I just like to save where I can and thought I would pass it along to the rest of you.
