3d printer, in the direction of the y- motor, with a M3 x 20 mm screw and a washer as shown 
in the picture above. Attach the metal flag onto the y carriage with a M3 x 10 screw and fitting
washers and a nut. 
Make sure the flag goes into the optical end-stop when the y-axis is driven completely to one 
side. If needed bend and cut the flag till it fits.

Assembly of the optical end-stop for the Z-axis

Mount the next optical end-stop on the second curved end-stop holder as shown in the 
picture above. Use one M3 x 16 mm screws and fitting washers and nuts for this.
Attach the end-stop holder with a M3 x 20 mm screw and one washer onto the smooth rod 
below one x end part.
Attach a metal flag onto the outer screw at the bottom of the x end parts using an extra M3 
nut and two washers.
Then bend the flag down and adjust the flag and the end-stop until the flag goes into the end-
stop without problems when the z-axis drives down completely. 

Assembly of the optical end-stop for the X-axis

Attach an optical end-stop on the straight end-stop holder with one M3 x 16 mm screws and 
fitting washers and nuts. Mount the end-stop holder onto the smooth rod near the belt on the 
x-axis near the X-end part. Secure it with a M3 x 20 mm screw and a washer.
Then attach the last metal flag at the x carriage with one of the M4 screws securing the linear
bearing.
Bend and cut the flag until it goes into the end-stop without any problems, when the X-axis is 
moved fully to one side. Do the same with the second X-end-stop on the opposite side.
