Aa cautionary tale (don't do this it's dumb)

So I got my new k40 and this enabled me to gut my atomstack m100 for thorough clean and new lens and so forth. This was an upgraded 10w so the limit switches needed extending. I made a pretty nice elegant hack for the left rail switch and the horizontal rail was only 1/4" shy so i glued on a 5mm button. All was well till the button popped off. A little crazy glue gell and prolem solved.... i think.... @%&$@$/ i glued my f ing limit switch shut. Ordered 4 new ones on feb 1st for 20 bucks they arrive in 4 days. Can't use any of my jigs without limit switches so it's been slow frustrating 1 piece at a time. Fortunately just about all the odd pieces, boards, wiring harness' , are all available at a snails pace on aliexpress. Com

Grump, almost any limit switch will work. I got a pack from amazon, pack of 10, for a few buck. All you need to do is determine if the original ones are Normally open or Normally closed. $20 and the wait time seem a little excessive. The limit switch is just a method for opening and closing a circuit and it doesn't need to be anything special.

Electrically, yes. Extremely simple.

Physically? Maybe. Depends on just how much work you're willing to do to retrofit a switch with a different form factor.

These are similar to switches on my two machines. I would need to DL spec sheets with dimensions to verify fit.

They most definitely would not be easy to interchange.

My temp fix when I added the extension kit to my Atomstack A5 and found the pre drilled holes were set up for the original smaller modules not the larger M100 module I just cut a small box frame 20 odd mm wide and high enough to reach the switch from the table top, worked well enough 95% of the time, it did walk occasionally. I eventually found some limit switches that use T-nuts to attach to frame, can't remember if it was Amazon or AliExpress, now they are easily adjustable should I change Modules again.
