PL-08N2 easily modified for compatibility with new tool head carriage. 2.4R2 - Trident...going forward. #130

Thought this might be useful for all the people with PL-08N2 that want to keep them. Mine works great, good accuracy. Also, it is the cheapest probe option by far.

In going to the MGN12 rail I realized that my PL-08N2 was to tall, and now understand, from Steve Builds channel, it is no longer supported from trident forward.

But!!! The top of the PL-08N2 housing can easily be removed with pliers to be cut down so it fits with the new MGN12 trident carriage. I think this should be part of the documentation or at least common knowledge. Why waste all those probes if they are working well, and then shell out more cash for Omron's.

I hope this will be included in the documentation or at least pinned in the discord.

This seems clear enough. Could you submit a PR to add that to the community documentation?
