Mendelmax 1.5 X-Endstop

thingiverse

Mendelmax owners often find that using a homemade or custom end stop upgrade gives their 3D printer improved precision and reliability. When upgrading an existing X-axis, it is helpful to know that common modifications often require minimal tools and basic understanding of mechanics. Those willing to DIY may consider implementing either proximity sensors or the mechanical switches typically used in commercial printers. In many cases, both upgrades yield significant advantages over the stock hardware, although proximity sensor installations tend to be simpler. When deciding on which upgrade route is right for you, consider that some Mendelmax variants are designed with specific end stops in mind. Ensure you choose a method suitable for your specific setup and do not mix parts unless explicitly specified by the manufacturer or recommended through rigorous research. With this in mind, DIY modifications can bring noticeable improvements to your printer's functionality, even without investing significant amounts of money in advanced commercial components.
