The sculpting wire is a nice low-cost DIY solution, but what about alternatives?

The sculpting wire is a pretty nice substitute for a gooseneck fixture. The sensor is adjustable yet steady, and additional sensors can be easily added.

However, for a more scalable solution, a gooseneck fixture with an appropriate adapter to connect to the PCB might be a better choice. For now, I'll stick with threading and twisting some cheap wire :)
