The Touch Plate is 0.5mm thick stainless steel. It has nice flex to it but it can be bent if you would prefer a little angle to it.

1- Wire, 1.5M (60"), 22AWG with a female dupont plug on one end already.

This is a DIY bag of parts because I know you all like to personalize things. Cut and crimp the wire to a length suitable for your build.
Use:
The alligator clip should be connected to the Zmin negative, and the plate to the S (signal) pin. All V1 Firmware is and has been ready to use this type of plate.
