Oscilloscope probe holder

thingiverse

When measuring with oscilloscope sometimes it's difficult to keep the probe touching small test points on the PCB for long time. One simple and very effective solution is to use scope probe holder which removes the need to manually hold the probe all the time. The extra weight (12mm steel rod) is used to increase the touching force. I use steel rod but ideally the weight should be made from lead or zink. With steel rod the pressure force is about 20g (it adds the weight of the probe as well). Adding blue tag below the legs may increase additionally the stability of the probe holder. This is the first design which is not perfect for 3D printing, I'll post soon another version which is more friendly for 3D printing.
