When it comes to probes I think in terms of prototyping something that is cheap and disposable . Did this years ago Round ended shafts at 120 degrees sitting in brass 60 degree cones. Connect the brass cones in series. Epoxy to plate isolated by a nylon washer. Probe drives the three shafts. Repeatable to about 0.0001” in all three axes.. Don’t think anyone else thought it was a good idea or maybe they just had more $$. Think I still have it sitting on the shelf. Of course YMMV. Once you get the probing software solid then get brave and put whatever you want on as a probe.
