What end stops are you all using, can someone point me to a link as I want to move away from optical stops as they are a pain to make up.

Thanks

are you able to give me a part number or something as looking on places like Element 14 they have so many different types.

Thanks

This looking at using something like this as they have a 2 day turnaround for me, but having never used mechanical stops I'm not sure which are compatible

I used these:

[nz.element14.com]

I like the concept of the roller, less friction on contact.
