Scope probe 3D printed tip covers

[nuno]

I don't know if that's the name, I just call it tip covers.

When I needed to probe tight places and assembled a protector, it usually made my life more difficult because the standard ones make the probe larger diameter and I always ended up bumping into something or not fitting, so I stopped using them. And they're also easy to loose, of course . Then I designed this slicker one. What do you think? The one in attach is for Rigol RP2200 probes (DS1104Z, probably the others too).

They're a bit tricky to print (at least for me), but doable. Depends on your slicer. This is designed to use the spiral mode, and I print it at 0.12mm Z step with a 0.4mm nozzle. In some slicers it helps to put the number of bottom and top layers to zero.


p.s. Changed the name from "protector" to "cover", sounds more adequate.

p.s. Now here, with more info and design files: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4669269 . They are parametric, so you just need OpenSCAD and change some measurements in a file to fit your probes; I can help with that if needed.
