One of the stepper motors’ switch things (the metal part that hits the bar to tell the motor it’s at one end of the track) came out and it’s either bent too much or snapped off (it’s so small I can’t really tell) and it doesn’t go back in place, which means I can’t use the printer because the motor with the head on it doesn’t know when it has reached the end of the track and just tries to keep going if I don’t stop it.
My first thought was to print a new piece but… That won’t work when I have to use the printer to do that. The motor itself is great. It’s just that stupid little metal triangle thing used to give the teeny tiny switch some more surface area to be pressed.
You could potentially just tape or glue something to press the little button nub just long enough to print something better. I did once by sticking a pencil eraser tip to the x carriage with double sided tape to print a little gantry nub to do the same thing more permanently. After it homed I pulled the eraser off so it didn’t end up falling into the print.
