TTS Passive Probe holder for Tormach 440

thingiverse

So if you own the Tormach PCNC 440 and the TTS passive probe, you know it's kind of a pain to hookup/disconnect between uses. Since it plugs in you have a cord from the back right of the enclosure to your probe making it very awkward to put away. I was really annoyed one day when I was repeatedly probing short runs and decided you should be able to leave the thing plugged in. So I create a holder that mounts onto the outside of the case right above the DIN plug that the probe connects to (note the small removable panel above the probe, it mounts right onto that (leave it in place, and you just need longer M3 screws (it is counterbored to use regular hex keyed M3s) I used 12mm length screws but you could probably do 8 or maybe even 6mm length if that's all you had. This is non-weight bearing so PLA is just fine. You do not need any supports to print it (at least on my prusa). I included the STEP file to allow you to mod this to your needs (or switch to Imperial if you are planning to machine it rather than print it)
