MK2 Upgrade - End stops (limit switches)
Hi, I received my upgrade kit ... yesterday as its after midnight now. I kept the old end stops from the Original and after I finished the part where I assembled the extruder, I found the bag with the new end stops in the box. My question is, are the lead lengths on the old end stops the same as the new ones? Can I stick with the old ones (which aren't actually very old) or should I go back and replace them with the new ones?

They are not the same as the old ones, I'd suggest you go ahead and swap them out just to be safe. Unless you can easily check whether they'd reach the Rambo MINI or not?

I finished the upgrade with them, and found that they are plenty long enough. I am having an issue with the x-axis hitting the x end stop sometimes, but that appears to be more about me leaving a small amount of belt hanging out of the assembly. The manual said to not leave any hanging out, but I thought it was talking about the other side, so I got that mixed up. I cut as much off of it as I could but there's still a tiny bit that still prevents it from hitting the end stop every time and it just sits there makes a bad noise until it does. It's much better after I cleaned up the belt, so I think trimming off a bit more should fix that issue.
Man, that was way too much explaining for such a simple issue. Long day.
