Would these work as cheap endstops?

I am trying to source a super cheap smartrap and I want to use inexpensive endstops. I came across these [www.dx.com]. I know that the seller is credible as I have bought other things from them before but I need to know if these will function as endstops. From what I can tell they will work but I hate to wait 3 weeks for anything to come from china to find out that it is useless.

Let me know what you guys think,

I don't see why not. As long as they reliably switch at exactly the same position every time they should be fine (not a crucial issue for X and Y, but essential for Z)

Alright thats what I thought. I will give them a try an will report back.

Thanks,

Yep I use the same they are fine.

For Z you can take of the lever and trigger it with an adjustable screw like this: [www.thingiverse.com]

I'd recommend these instead for $2 more:

I have both and the little white ones *will* work, but they are definitely a very cheap part.
