Xr limit switch replacement

Does anyone have any pointers as to how to replace the y-axis limit switches on an XR?

I cant believe they arent easily accesible, the pipe the gantry rolls on is right in the way…terrible placement…

Are you sure it’s a faulty limit switch?

Me…no…but johnny from langmuir systems says thats the issue after some troubleshooting and sent me the new limit switches. However there are no instructions to replace them. Im just gonna get longer versions of the tiny bolts and thread them through from the outside and use a nut on the inside…i dont know how else to accomplish the task wothout taking the whold damn thing apart. EXTREMELY POOR PLACEMENT LANGMUIR!!!

This is how I installed my y limit switch in the back corner of my XR were it’s blind on both sides.

Put the new limit switches in the draw. Go to FireControll and turn them off. Congratulations you can cut all-day without a problem.

I was sidetracked. My wife turned on Google messages on my phone, and every time she messages me, I get a stupid bubble. I’m about to throw the phone across the street.

Just turn them off in FireControl. Just go to the hamburger-looking thing in the top right. Click on it and turn it off.
