3D Touch Probe / Edge Finder - A Low Cost Probe?
Hi all, the 3D probe shown in the attached photo is being sold on the web by several vendors, ranging from AliExpress through eBay to CNC system sellers. It looks quite nice, having only a 6mm shank and being quite short so good for machines with limited daylight.
Does anyone have any experience with these they could share please?Attachment 31377

It comes with several tips, even long ones.

It's possible I could model the internals but I'm not convinced it would be valuable as I don't plan to substitute any internal parts. My main interest is mounting it on my machine on an arm fitted to the tailstock.
Note that there's a pretty good exploded assembly drawing on the various websites.
