Where you place the sensor depends on how your CAM program is set up. Ususally this will be the machine spoilboard surface or the top surface of your material.

Make sure the sensor is removed from the 3D printed part that uses magnets to hold it on the reference stud. It should just be the bottom of the sensor itself which sit son the reference surface.

Find a clear flat spot to place the sensor.

Try to avoid areas that have been machined or damaged.

If using "machine bed," find a place close to your stock material, as the height will vary somewhat across its area

Place the sensor flat on the surface. Make sure it sits level and does not rock back and forth.

Use the steel plate to hold it in place so it does not shift during probing.
