How It Works

The Optical Endstop operates by emitting an infrared light beam that is interrupted by the movement of the 3D printer's axis. When the light beam is blocked, the optical sensor detects this interruption and sends a signal to the printer's controller, indicating that the axis has reached its limit position. This system allows for smooth operation without the mechanical resistance of traditional switches, resulting in quieter and more efficient 3D printing.

Installation Instructions

1. Power off your 3D printer to prevent any accidental movements.
2. Locate the endstop mounting area on your printer frame.
3. Attach the Optical Endstop in the appropriate position using screws or mounting brackets, ensuring that the light emitter and sensor are aligned properly.
4. Connect the 50CM 3-pin cable to the corresponding input on your printer’s motherboard.
5. Power on the printer and test
