Install the Z Switch Engagement Stud into the Stud bracket on
the Z axis. Put the M5x35 button cap screw through the stud
bracket, then slide on an M5 split-lock screw and a regular M5
nut (not a nylock nut). Notice that the stud bracket is slotted so
you can adjust the engagement position later.
Then gather the long paddle switch, (2) M3x20 machine screws,
and (2) M3 nylock nuts. Install the Z switch onto the back of the
X Plate as shown.
Slide the small black extender piece onto the paddle of the
switch and secure it in place by threading an M3x8 machine
screw into the plastic.
You can now spin the coupler on the Z axis motor with your
thumb to observe where the switch will engage. Listen for a
click from the switch to indicate it has engaged. Adjust the set
screw as desired. Note that you may want to reexamine this
position after you install your router, as it can collide with the Z
motor mount before the switch engages if installed too high.
See the graphic to the right that illustrates the position of the X
and Y homing switches that you are about to install. This graphic
is looking at the machine
from the back. The Mega V XXL
homes up in Z, to the back in Y, and to the right in X.
