The probe tip holder system is also redesigned to make sure that tightening it doesn't cause the tip to rotate. Detailed assembly instructions and a bill of materials are available on instructable: To build this device you will need: 3mm metallic rods of various lengths, 12mm wide 3mm thick cylindrical magnets, 12mm wide paramagnetic washers, 3x 55mm long M3 bolts, …
