Hall Effect Magnetic Endstop Adapter

youmagine

A small Hall-Effect converter that replicates the form factor and mounting holes found in miniature microswitches commonly used in most reprap-style printers. The device accepts a 3144 or similar hall-effect sensor in place of the switch lever, enabling simple conversion from mechanical to hall-effect endstops. To assemble one: 1) Print STL 2) Wrap heat shrink sleeving around all three legs of A3144 and apply heat to shrink it. 3) Insert pins through the adapter's hole so that the active face of the sensor faces outward from the adapter face. 4) Secure the sensor to the adapter using superglue or epoxy, ensuring it is flush with the adapter. 5) Solder a 3-way header onto the three legs of the sensor. '+' and '-' signs on the side of the adapter body serve as a reminder for polarity; verify that the correct polarity is used, as incorrect wiring can damage your electronics. 6) Attach the header to the back side of the adapter using glue.
