Re: Vibrating Y axis

Incase anyone wants to know, that was the problem.
Took it right off and started again, needed a small trim and the tensioner on the x and y were set a bit wrong.
Prints are great now.
Thanks for your reply.

Re: Endstop wiring

Its just a normal sensor, just the wrong type i guess. Am i able to run it through this board without an external power supply?

Endstop wiring

Hi,

Sorry if this is a stupid question, I am hoping to attach a 3 pin and a 4 pin end stop to my prusa i3 PRO B, but the GT2560 only has 2 pins for the end stop connections. Is there an adaption for this?

My Y axis seems to have some vibration showing on my prints but only significantly in one direction. I removed the belt and the bed glides smoothly. I tried putting a twist in the belt but that didn't help. there just doesn't seem to be much resistance ...
