The mystery image three posts back was a lame attempt at the Mona Lisa. The whirring noise you hear in the background is Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci revolving in his grave at high RPM. I tried printing a 43x64 icon with 4μm pixel spacing on the grounds that I could definitely keep the probe level. It came out a smidgen better but still awful:

Barely recognisable even if you know what it is. The whole thing is 1/4mm tall and I stood no chance of tracking the print's progress at that resolution, so I was surprised anything came out at all. Even the original icon wasn't that flash:

Anyhow, got that out of my head. Back to more serious work. I've fitted a larger probe point and photographed the Touch Probe assembly process for documentation.
