      I think SainSmart CNC Touch Plate, Huanyu Plate will be good. My budget is low so looking for an affordable option that's struggling a bit in finding good one.
      So need your reviews and suggestion on good CNC Touch Plates at cheaper pricing

            Unless you just like the ease of use, or convenience of buying one online, there's really no need. I use a small copper clad proto board that I never etched. I cut it to a handy shape and soldered a wire to it. I have a banana plug that I use to plug it in to a panel mounted jack, instead of the alligator clip.

            Basically, you can use anything that's conductive and that has an easily measurable Z height. Heck, I've used tin foil wrapped around the part when I wanted to find exact Z of a previously failed part in order to continue where I left off, lol.

                If you want to go super meta you could do what this guy did. 3d printed a plate and covered it in aluminum tape.
