Hardware Notes
Inside The hardware folder is a large set of renders to describe a design for a probe.
The small (yellow) spring can be a pen spring or something similar.
The probe rod (orange) can be a bent accupuncture needle or paperclip of some kind.
You can also theoretically use a premade probe like this one from AliExpress. Although I make no promises of it truly working, it should work, so use at your own risk.
!!! A Washer should be added in between the bottom spring and the PCB !!!

Note to McMaster-Carr, If this is not your intended meaning of "reference use", Please open a github issue/PR and I'll do my best to reach an acceptable solution.
Please do not use these PDF files to manufacture any of the parts they describe, Using someone else's designs without paying for them or being explicitly allowed to is a scummy thing to do, please just buy the parts instead of reproducing them without permission, or just make your own completely new custom parts.

Questions
How big is the FlyingProbe PCB?
It measures 150 × 150 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the FlyingProbe use?
148 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the FlyingProbe KiCad files?
From the NanashiTheNameless/FlyingProbe repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is FlyingProbe.kicad_pcb and its schematic FlyingProbe.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the FlyingProbe design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask NanashiTheNameless before reusing the design.
