    it looks like it may be possible
    but I would need to see more detailed photos of the 3 axis board

  5. Are those pics any good mate?

  6. #6
    yes

    this is good enough to see the ground and 3 switch inputs but not know which input is connected to which printer port terminal via opto-isolators

    since the 2 pin stop connector in this picture
    will be your E-stop
    you only have 4 printer port pins to test to find which 3 are for the X Y Z inputs here
