With that new probe I fired up a quick test using the same 400μm logo GCODE file and got this:
Looks like I got the Z probe height a bit wrong, and I could see the tip flexing as it was dragged kicking and screaming across the slide - note vertical slash in the middle where it should have been clear of the bed. I may have scratched a wee divot or two in the middle before I started as well while manually adjusting probe height, but I'll call it a valiant first attempt for Maus.
Must devise a finer manual height adjustment for the Maus stage, but this will matter less if I can get Z Touch working and I'm tempted to go for that.
Might reinforce the probe shaft with a bit of epoxy too, to reduce potential flexing. Currently it's 6mm long, and I think that may be too much.
