Topic: position sensor fail

hi i have a xyz 1.0AIO
the courier who delivered my printer has damaged it, I have a broken sensor on the y axis does anyone know where I can get one it has SG 5X1 marked on it but I cant find one anywhere?
I have switched the one from the x axis but then obv the x axis fails I need a new one.http://soliforum.com/i/?Jy3jQw2.jpg

Re: position sensor fail

Only place you can get them is from somebody scrapping out a machine. They are not an off the shelf component and XYZ will not even sell you one unless their stance on parts have changed.

you may need to print an adaptor to mount on your machine, or take out the led and light sensor to replace the one you have with solder iron.

Those will not work on an xyz machine. XYZ has the pull-up and current limiting resistors for each Ir LED and opto-transistor for each end stop on the main board. The ones you have listed has those resistors on each unit. If you use them as is in an xyz machine the resistance and current will be too low for them to operate.

I think you are correct, XYZ has the pull-up and current limiting resistors for each Ir LED and opto-transistor for each end stop on the main board. The voltage supposed to be ~5V/~0.2V with stock optical endstop on/off, I got ~3.3V/0.1V instead without remove the pull-up and current limiting resistor. It still works well since 3.3V still considered high voltage. I think just replace the Ir LED and optical-transistor from the new endstop with solder iron to replace the old one is a better choice. It is technical challenging, but it is not expensive and risk of get anything burned is low. Worth to try when out of choices.
