Description:
Bring reliable mechanical position detection to your 3D printer with the Mechanical Endstop Switch RAMPS 1.4 Module with 70cm Cable. Designed for popular RepRap and Mendel-style 3D printer platforms, this compact limit switch module helps detect the movement limits of printer axes such as X, Y, and Z.
The module uses a mechanical switch that is activated when the printer carriage, bed, or other moving component reaches a defined position. It can be connected to a RAMPS 1.4 controller board and is suitable for DIY 3D printer assembly, maintenance, upgrades, and electronics projects.
The included 70cm cable provides convenient wiring distance between the endstop location and the controller, making installation easier on many 3D printer frames. Its simple mechanical operation makes it a practical choice for hobbyists, makers, students, and 3D printer builders.
