Hello All
I stupidly assumed the opto-endstop were included in the
generation 3 electronics mostly assembled from Makerbot, but I guess opto-endstop v2.1 is not part of the Gen 3 electronics.
Never mind. I have sourced the parts from Mouser but do not have the PCB. Buying 3 PCBs from Makerbot will cost me $3 PLUS $30 for shipping. Cheapest I can find is
RepRapSource.com which will cost 3.75 Euros PLUS 12.5 euros shipping....
I was then thinking of building them on stripboard. Taking a look at the
footprint of the H21LOB opto switch it seems to me this switch will not fit onto a standard 2.54mm pitch stripboard.
Any suggestions from those in the know or can anyone name a UK supplier of the opto endstop PCB without stupid shipping costs?
Cheers
