Description:
3D Printer Endstop Switch on PCB & Cable – Mechanical Lever Microswitch End Stop
The Mechanical Endstop is a simple solution to a simple problem. You want to be able to detect when an X/Y/Z stage has reached its minimum or maximum. Instead of messing with flags or complicated light beam interrupters, this board use a mechanical switch. If we place the switch in the path of the stage, then the stage itself will simply close the switch when it moves against it. Other than properly positioning the switch, you do not need to modify the stage at all. You do not need to worry about reliability, the switches used are rated for 1 million operations before failure. Since we only use the switches once per print, that means you’ll be able to do one million prints before having to replace the switch!
The mechanical endstop uses a lever switch to detect when it is activated. The switch is wired up so that when activated, it pulls the signal to LOW. There is also an LED on the board that will light up when the switch is activated. This can be a big help when debugging.
