RAMPS 1.4 End Switch Module for RepRap 3D Printers

Although it’s becoming quite commonplace for Makers to simply purchase all-inclusive 3D Printers, which come with everything you need flat-packed and ready for simple setup, some Makers like to really get to know the machines they’re working on, and choose to build their very own custom 3D Printer Kits from nothing but nuts, bolts, modules and other basic components. This, while typically taking a lot longer to build and tune up to perfection, is still a viable method, and offers the benefit of allowing Makers to learn all about what each of the different 3D Components do, how small changes and alterations to these parts can affect the overall print quality, as well as common ways for such parts to break or become damaged over time – which is invaluable knowledge if you’re a curious mind who loves to build things from scratch.

These RAMPS 1.4 End Switch Modules are designed for RepRap 3D Printers that Makers typically build from the ground up, and are built to offer a means of sensing precisely when an axis has reached the end or limit of its movements. These switches click into place with very little force, meaning that they are quite sensitive as End Switches should be, and simply tell the machine not to move the axis any further so as to avoid faults or damage. These modules feature basic mounting points that can easily be installed onto aluminium extrusion, and the simplicity of these modules actually make them surprisingly diverse in nature, with some users even installing these on wooden 3D Printers or machines made purely from acrylic (Yes, both of those exist, but we don’t recommend taking on that challenge). And of course, just to sweeten the deal, these modules also come equipped with 70cm long cables, so that all you need to do to replace your current one is to dismount and unplug it before plugging in and mounting this fresh new module.

Whether you’re building your very own custom 3D Printer from scratch, or are looking at replacing a faulty limit switch on your RepRap based machine, these limit switches are the perfect low cost 3D Spares to get your machine in working order with minimal unnecessary hassle.
