Hello, I liked this idea, so I’ve tentatively developed it and tried it out with a 3 mm stainless steel rod. With Sketchup I’ve made 3.5 mm holes into the cover and the hinge brackets (I did glue these hinge brackets in place with Loctite because they were a bit loose and wouldn’t slide around). Later, I’ll replace the stainless steel rod with a stainless steel 3 mm threaded rod. Best regards.

Great progress
Printed tubes for the wires are really cool! Just about time to start cutting.

Combination of a probe holder and a pen holder (with 3d printed spring).
One more thing to try in the future. Greetings everybody.

Love the idea. And looks great. How does it work? I made a rather rigid simple mount. But your’s is so much nicer.
Curious, I think we are using the same mount that was available there. Does anyone know why it’s there? For this type of options I assume? Clever. @vicious1
That is there for optional mounts.
I made a pen mount that puts the tip of the pen in the makita center, and is compliant in Z only. Pen Mount for the LowRider 4 CNC by V1 Engineering | Download free STL model | Printables.com I find pens do not last long if rigidly mounted.
