I am using a 0.7X20mm probe (long thin shaft). What are the best calibration settings for this probe? It keeps failing calibration for a few tip angles (.0004 deviation). I am using DCC+DCC 31 hits (5 levels) with a start angle of 10 and end angle of 90.
So going from 2mm/sec to 0.5mm/sec helped a bit. A few tip angles came in tolerance (<.0003) but there’s still 2 tip angles that always give me .0004 deviation increasing hit points or levels doesn’t seem to do much.
I am going to test the same thing on my other machine soon. Haven’t installed the 0.7mm probe there yet. I’ll try to report back

Is the 10° off the equator enough to not shank? With my .3, it is on a .2mm stem that is short and into a .5mm stem. If it don't stay far enough away from the equator, that corner of the .5mm stem hits the sphere before the stylus tip on the "near equator" hits.
I'm at 13°. I can't remember if that was NECESSARY or if I was clear at something else (like 10°) and put in some buffer.
If the stylus isn't build perfectly, the one I have anyway, and the .2mm stem is off-center to either the ruby or the .5mm stem, then the angle wouldn't be the same all around to clear. So the 13 probably has some buffer in it, I doubt I wanted to watch every single hit all the way around to see if it cleared.
I probably moved it to get one hit clear and then tossed a couple more degrees on it to ensure I don't have a problem down the road.
increasing hit points or levels doesn’t seem to do much.
