is the probe suppose to touch the object

[myshop1044]

I am tring my first scan and I have notice that the probe is scoring the object I am scanning, is this suppose to happen.
I viewed the video and it did't seem to touch the object.

Little help would be great.

myshop1044,

The probe tip dose make contact with the object being scanned
and may damage it's surface. There are some posts and threads on the subject.

This is one I found

Thanks for the info, I looked at the scan after it finished and it looked ok
for now I will try carve it later

thanks again.

My probe for the shopsabre has a slight bit of rubber or plastic on the tip.I have read on the forum here where guys were using tip of super glue and other things to make a softer point so as not to scratch delicate items.
