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

Hi there,

I just happen to have 3 opto PCB's that I don't use. When I bought them from the RepRap store (before MakerBot existed) I ordered 6 of them and only needed 3. If you can send me your address i'll just stick them in an envelope and send them over to you at no cost.
