Finally completed my CrossFire mods

As a lot of you know, the notion of ‘completing’ mods on our CrossFires is a ludicrous notion. We’ll NEVER be DONE! And, as the case may be, I have, once again ‘Completed my CrossFire Mods’.

This time I’ve finished up adding the Z Axis, which I described in Crossfire Gets An Upgrade - Floating Z Axis Installed - #89 by TomWS, and, as I stated there, I wasn’t certain if I’d add DragChains or not. Well, I have added Dragchains, (Thanks to @RockMountainLLC and @felich for providing the sourcing information). I have also added X and Y Home switches and, because I never did like powering the Homing and Limit switches from the LapTop’s USB port, I also added a new 5V supply to the Enclosure just to ensure that the switches are truly isolated from the USB port and the CrossFire Controller.

I added the X & Y Home switches as I wanted to make sure I have a consistent reference point as I start planning Indexed cuts. More on that later, I’m sure.

In any case, here is the new and ‘final’ version of my system:


And the new wiring in the enclosure…

I suspect I’ll be back IF I think of any more upgrades… (like THC to take a random example).
