The Touch Probe allows you to quickly identify job zero (X, Y, and Z) by running the probing feature found in Carbide Motion.   The touch probe from Carbide 3D is pretty expensive.  I've found an alternate for 1/2 the price on Amazon.  It works just as well.  The one difference is that it does not have a green and red light indication (but this is not necessary for it to function).
This alternative CNC Touch Probe can be used with Shapeoko 3 that use Carbide Motion. Can also be used on other CNC routers on control software that support a probe with the standard .100 (2.54mm) connector spacing.  The probe supports 4 different types of probing XYZ (otherwise known as corner probing), X (to find the left edge of your material), Y (to find the front edge of your material), and Z (to find the top of your material. Can be used on Nomad 883 Pro as well, but this will require removing or rewiring the tool height sensor. Since that connection is also plugged into the 2 pin PROB connector.  
The kit includes aluminum probe plate a 60” cord to connect to the control board and 10 inch wire alligator clips.  
Features:

• Automatic measurements to deliver precision
• Automatic calculation and correction of the tool offset
• No errors due to manual tool setting using gauge blocks
• No typing errors and corresponding subsequent damage
• Time saving, reliable, tactile measurements

I've created a video to help show you how to set it up and use it.  The video is with the official touch probe, but will be identical with this touch probe.

If you need a way to store your touch probe, I 3D print a touch probe holder.  You can find it on my Etsy shop, benmyerswoodshop or click the link below to purchase one!

When you think of graffiti artist what comes to mind?  For me, it's graffiti on a train.  This week, we sit down with Jason White of Whites Artworks and talk about his beginnings of tagging trains to cites hiring him to put murals on the side of whole city blocks.  His latest mural at the time of recording is a mural commissioned by Hulu's TV show (that Coty stars in) Main Street : Small Business Revolution on the side of a building in the town of Searcy, Arkansas.  He talks with us about over coming the fear of taking the leap of faith in yourself to become a small business and trust in your creative abilities.  
You can find Jason on Instagram at @WhitesArtworks and Facebook at @WhitesArtworks.  You can also listen to his own Podcast, The Overspray Podcast.
