RigidBot R1 Z-Axis "EASY END STOP"

thingiverse

Original Kickstarter RigidBot R1, has a fixed distance between the bed and the hotend. Any regulation has to be performed moving the position of the ring containing the Z-End Stop switch, or even worse, you may need to touch the 4 bed alignment screws. That is not very comfortable, especially if you plan to install a glass over the bed, and continue to swap it at any print. This addon, adds an adjustable end stop knob as found in many RepRap printers. This is the result of many hours of design, with the goal of building something very efficient, and that could be well integrated with the RigidBot aesthetics. You will need to completely dismount and remove from his current location the original Z-end stop ring and detach the microswitch board. The microswitch will be installed on this new object at a different location then the original RigidBot. Read the step by step PDF Installing guide in the thingiverse files section. The object has been designed in a manner to be REALISTIC and that everyone could print, avoiding any strange object that could be printed only using supports, ultra tuned hires printer, fanta-printers... The parts are already in the correct position to be printed. At the moment are ALL IN ONE, since this give time to small PLA parts to cold while printing the other sections. All parts are original excluded the knob. The knob is a remix of <https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1420598>. I printed them in PLA in an old RepRapPro but you may try also print them in ABS.
