Nice! Where did you get your proximity switches? Do they work with non-ferrous metal too?

Thank you!

Got them from ebay, 5 for almost nothing :)
Not sure I got the right ones (npn,pnp) but hey.. will go with what I have for now..

Dont think they detect non-ferrous.. can try tomorrow if you want?

Inductive sensors will detect aluminum but detection distance is roughly 1/2 they use them in 3d printers all the time for auto levelling the print bed.

Huh!
Good to know ;)

I think I have a mountingplan for all my swithes now.. been brainstorming for a while ;)
Maybe I can rethink something with this new information ^^

It would be better to attach a metal washer to a bolt for it to sense

Yeah! I agree..
I tried it because wallace was curious and desertboy said it worked, not planning to use aluminium as sensory target :)
Have enough steel in my machine to make it work!

Okey.. limitswitch for y axis!

Like an idiot I placed my 2 screwholes to tight so the boltheads wont fit :D
Will make a solution haha



The targets will be nuts drilled out to accept a m5 bolt since I only have m5 t nuts ;)




Will have to fit a washer in there aswell!

Y axis home switch is a pure example of "use what you have"
I know its like 5 parts to many for the function..

Stick the bolts in a battery drill and spin the heads them against grinder to make a smaller dia
