### Building the Star Probe

You can build these star probe configurations:

5-Way Customizable Star Probe with Different Probe Tips. | 5-way customizable star probe. This type of star probe uses a center cube consisting of five threaded holes into which you can screw various probe tips.

Non-Customizable Star Probe with Identical Probe Tips | Non-customizable star probe. This type of star probe does not have a customizable 5-way center. While it does come with a cube, there are no threaded holes, and the four horizontal tips are permanently attached to the cube. The horizontal tips are all the same size.

After you build your probe you should calibrate it by using the Measure button on the Probe Utilities toolbox. See "Measure" for information on calibrating tips.
