Probe Holder

If you've ever had to hold a scope or meter probe on a circuit board with one hand, while typing or doing something else with the other, then this print is for you!

This model combines a hollow ball-and-socket chain, combined with a base with a slot to clamp on a PCB board (default is 1.6mm, but can be changed in the .scad file) and a pin-holding probe tip. Print as many of the ball_socket.stl model (chainSocket() module) as needed to reach across the board. Print one of the ball_socket_pcb_clip.stl model ( pcbClip() module) to hold it onto the edge of a PCB. Print one of the ball_socket_probe.stl model (probePinTip() module) to add to the end.

After assembling the base, chain and tip, strip a few mm off the end of a length of wire-wrap wire and insert at right-angles into the end of the tip (will probably need to clear the hole a bit), then insert a straight pin to capture the wire and provide a connection to the pin. Stretch out the chain and lace the wire through the holes
