Common Stylus Configurations


---
 Share

Recommended Posts

We have an XXT and currently mostly have straight down stylus. The theory of those who made this decision was that it would be easier since we could rotate the head and wouldn't need a bunch of stylus configurations to approach parts and different angles. However with all the space needed for the arm to rotate and come in from the sides, there have been situations when I think a star or L configuration would be better. But I have never tried to make one of these and don't know what I need. We do have a very small star probe, but it came all as one piece. 

Could I please see photos of configurations that you use often as well as what components are needed to make them?

As long as the star probe is balanced and within the limits of the graphic above, you'll be fine! Setting them up is very straightforward. 

We have had nothing but issues running L shaped probes, and only do so when absolutely necessary. Balancing seems very important on the XXT
