Shapeoko Touch Probe Holder

Yet another holder for the Carbide 3D Shapeoko touch probe.

I know there are various other holders out there for the Shapeoko touch probe, but none of them quite fit my need for something that would hold the probe secure at multiple orientations (my Shapeoko is on a wheeled cart and stored vertically when not in use).

This one uses the alligator clip to ensure that the probe can't fall out of the holder no matter the orientation or a bit of jostling from moving the cart around).

I used double-stick tape to attach this, but the design could easily be modified to add a couple of screw holes or a small indent for best application of 3M Command adhesive strips.

I also ended up creating a mockup for the touch probe itself, so you can also see that at OnShape
