Help with CNC 3018 from Banggood

[JeanB]

Thank you, Andy,

I will shield the spindle and ground all the shields. I, at least, can do this for the time being.

Hi Jean,

I am a complete novice as far CNC machines go and I have got myself a new cnc 3018 pro machine. I just assembled it and have been playing around with the GBRL and calibration stuff and thought I should enable the homing feature which would need endstop switches.

I was looking at the Optical Endstop that you have mentioned in earlier posts and thought it would be a nice clean method as opposed to using the micro-switch option.

Did you get round to solving the issues you were having? Will be grateful if you could upload a pic or two of what your switches look like and how you have attached them to the XY and Z axis.

Thanks,
Mike
