Flushed with success, I thought I'd try the new probe out over a large area - 2mm x 1.3mm - and this did not look so flash. But we learn from our mistakes so here is one. 15μm spacing but a stippled image (figure it out, heh):

Careful examination shows that the probe contacts as a point nicely across the print area along X=0, and going up to I dunno 0.7mm or so? Then the probe starts smacking into the slide too much for the flexure to cope with and it starts skidding off sideways.

Something is off somewhere, because beyond that area there are some dots, and some skids. I do not know why.
