Human: A set of useful accessories for desktop CNC machines (3018 CNC) and also 2020 aluminium extrusion profile. The accessories are: •Mountings for all three axis endstops at both ends, consisting of six switches that provide precise control over your machine's movements. •Feet - Stabilising feet that slide into the 2020 profile aluminium, ensuring your machine remains stable and secure during operation. •2020 aluminium endcaps - Aesthetic additions that make the 2020 profile look sleek and polished, while also reducing sharp edges. •Crank handle - A convenient hand crank for the X and Y axis, requiring a sufficient lead screw protrusion to function properly. •Axis Knob - A simpler alternative to Crank Handle, featuring two screw grips for when there isn't much lead screw available. •Bed Clamps - Essential tools for holding down your work piece, ensuring precise control over its movement during the machining process. •2020 Cable Clamps - Simple right-angles for 2020 profile that hold wires in place, available in M3, M4, and M5 versions to accommodate various cable sizes. •Power Switch Box - A convenient module for fitting a rocker power switch and toggle switch for Spindle/laser selection. •M3-T-Nut - Useful components for using M3 nuts as sliding t-nuts on 2020 aluminium profile. •2020 aluminium profile right-angle (28mm x 28mm) - Essential for joining 2020 profile at 90 degrees, often missing from CNC kits. Endstops The Y-Axis endstop is a single mount for both front and back switches, activated by two tabs mounted under the bed with M3 screws, nuts, and printed M3 T-nut converters. The upper Z-Axis switch is clamped to the Z-Stepper motor RHS mounting posts, while the lowers simply clip on. Ensure proper engagement of the Z-Axis drive lead screw with the stepper motor spindle collar for accurate switching. To wire the switches to the control board, you will likely need Dupoint crimps/header connectors, available in bulk online. Additional items needed: 6 microswitches (KW12-3) for precise limit switch control 12 pcs of M2.5 x 12mm screws and nuts for mounting switches 4 pcs M5 x 10mm screws and sliding T-nuts for upper Z mount and Y-Carriage actuator tabs Checkout this excellent article for more info on endstops: https://blog.shahada.abubakar.net/post/adding-end-stops-limit-switches-to-the-3018-woodpecker-cnc-router? Power Switch Box The power switch box lets you add a much-needed on/off switch in line with the supply PSU, utilizing a rocker switch for a panel cut-out of 19mm x 13mm. Fit a 5.5mm X 2.1mm DC Power Socket to supply power through the switch to a 5.5mm x 2.1mm DC jack that connects to the control board. Fit a miniature change-over (SPDT) toggle switch wired to the Laser/Spindle selection header pins for easy motor/laser selection. If you don't have a laser, there is a version without this option: CNC3018_PowerSwitchBox_NO_laserSW.stl
