Modification of Cubetrix Final Stop for the Z Axis ------------------------------------------------------- Modification for Final Stop on Z Axis in Cubetrix System By: [Your Name] This document outlines modifications to the final stop mechanism for the Z-axis in the Cubetrix system. The primary goal is to improve performance and reliability. Current Setup: The current setup utilizes a simple switch-based system. When the print bed reaches its maximum height, it triggers a switch that sends a signal to the controller, halting the print process. Modification Proposal: 1. Replace the existing switch with a precision-made proximity sensor. 2. Program the sensor to send a digital signal to the controller when it detects the print bed has reached the designated height. 3. Configure the controller to halt the print job upon receiving this signal. 4. Implement a fail-safe mechanism to prevent accidental stoppages. Benefits: * Enhanced precision in detecting the final stop position * Improved reliability and reduced risk of errors Implementation Plan: 1. Source and acquire the necessary components (proximity sensor, controller modifications). 2. Install the proximity sensor on the Z-axis assembly. 3. Update the controller firmware to recognize and respond to the digital signal from the proximity sensor. 4. Test the modified system thoroughly. Timeline: * Component procurement: 1 week * Installation and testing: 2 weeks Conclusion: The proposed modification will significantly enhance the performance and reliability of the Cubetrix system's final stop mechanism. By replacing the switch with a precision-made proximity sensor, we can improve accuracy and reduce the risk of errors. Recommendations: * Implement this modification in all Cubetrix systems to ensure consistency across production. * Continuously monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of this modification to identify areas for further improvement.
