why 5 way switch if we always probe only z | |
I am playing with the idea of 3d scanning and am primarily a diy cnc'er as more here seem to be. the question is, as most of use are using mach 2, which moves on a grid and then drops the z azis, why bother doing a probe that switches when bumps horozontally? It would also seem that switching would be simpler is we were only looking to switch the z axis and as long as the switch was consistently repeatable, it would be ok if the probe moved more than .001 as long as the switch tripped after the same amount of movement? just checking to see if anyone has played with this idea. |
