Wanted a probe spool for my HeaterMeter probes that could be stacked on itself to keep all my probes together. This design consists of one base part which is printed once per probe, and and end cap which completes the final chamber. The base parts are symmetrical so they can be rotated 180 degrees (alternating probes) or have the probes stack up on each other. Stacking up on each other allows them to trap the probe wire to prevent it from unraveling completely.

Tested with:

• Maverick ET-72/73 and ET-723
• Thermoworks ProSeries

The Maverick fit a bit tight, the Thermoworks are a bit loose. In the OpenSCAD file, there are build plates defined for printing 1-4 probes at once. Printed versions available in the HeaterMeter store.

Updates:

• 2020-May-12
  • Extend end cap lip 0.1mm extra for a slightly tighter fit
• 2017-Jul-18
  • Fixed slight effective diameter mismatch between hub round and flat parts causing bump in printed output.
• 2017-Apr-16
  • Added gap between layers by removing a bit of the probe holster, configurable with probe_cut
  • Removed dependency on OpenSCAD 2016+, no longer uses rotate_extrude(angle)
