Tutorial: How to use End of Race ver. 1.2

The mechanical endstop (endstop) for CNC 3D printers version 1.2 is an essential component that helps your printer detect the start and end of movement along the three XYZ directions, ensuring precision in printing operations.

What you need

• 3D Printer with endstop support
• Connection cable
• Resistors

Steps

1. Install the endstop in the desired position on the printer structure, ensuring it is securely fastened.
2. Connect the endstop cable to the 3D printer communication bus (check the datasheet for the specific port).
3. Configure the 3D printer software settings to recognize and use the endstop correctly.
4. Test the endstop functionality by performing a test run with the printer (G28 in case of Marlin).
5. Adjust the software settings based on the test results, ensuring that the endstop is detected correctly.
6. Install and configure the 3D printer firmware to use version 1.2 of the endstop (check the datasheet).

Frequently asked questions

How can I verify that the endstop is correctly connected?
Execute a G28 command in the printer control software, if the printer moves towards the endstop reference point it means it is correct.

What are the advantages of using version 1.2?
Version 1.2 may include improvements such as a higher degree of resistance or easier configuration compared to previous versions.
