Like cooler ducts, there are many probe mounts available for the i3. I didn't like any of them - or the ones I did like wouldn't work with my machine. I've a rear-mounted T-Rex cooler (excellent btw - search Thing for it) so my options were limited to a front-mounted thing.
I wanted to get as close as possible to the probe, securely mounted, without obstructing the front view. My Marlin offsets are as follows:
X_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER 9
Y_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER -38
Z_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER -1.0
As ever with probes and mounts, BE CAREFUL when you're dialling this in. The probe, when raised, is only about 2-3mm higher than the nozzle. Start high and work lower till you get your own settings right!
Note: this is for the BL Touch Smart. I've been told it doesn't quite fit the Classic (pin too low when retracted) - happy to redesign if anyone is able to work with me to test it.
