I know which ports they need to be plugged into, just not how to install them on my machine itself.

So I am working at trying to install end stops on my Benbox Gearbest/bangood Laser engraving machine using’s +Ray Kholodovsky Cohesion 3D controller board as the included one was defective. Now I know where to hook them too on the board but i can not seem to figure out how to install them on the machine itself.

I think Ariel said it pretty well:

You will need to cut a piece of wood or acrylic and make a small plate to mount the endstops and then screw them into the middle of the profile on each axis.

+Ray Kholodovsky Like on the laser head itself or where the screws are holding down the guide cable? Or both?

On the ends of the rails.

X min is left

X max is right.

Y min is front

Y max is back.

+Ray Kholodovsky ok? On laserweb3 it will go a -18 and a positive 60

That’s completely unrelated to the “where to physically install the endstops” - which I just answered above.

+Ray Kholodovsky Yeah but by having the end stops will it the system within the chart in Laserweb3?

With the endstops installed your machine should stop at the end of the rails, yes.

+Ray Kholodovsky Alrighty and I’m thinking for now just taping them on then come back and make the holder do dads.

I would love to see the final outcome of this. I have a similar unit that could use a C3D Mini
