Attaching limit switches to build plate

Postby robotdad » Sat May 26, 2012 7:34 pm

How are you guys attaching the limit switches to the build plate? The mounting holes are right next to the belt clamp. I don't see how I'll have room to mount the switches there. Even if the post on the switch has room there is no way there is room for the connector on the wire.

The switches I'm using are SS-5GL13T.

I used a similar switch (mine has a roller)

I soldered the wires onto the switch, as there isn't much clearance.
