			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Not really a hack or a mod but something that I&#039;ve gotten around to doing that gives me peace of mind.</p><p>Firstly, my x axis end stop switch wiring was too short. When the bed was down really low, the cable would pull tight and lose all of its slack. I simply wired in an extra 150mm and sealed it all up. Now I can use the full z-height without worrying that the cable will be pulled out or snap.</p><p><a href="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/405/extendedxswitchwire.jpg/"><span class="postimg"><img src="http://imageshack.us/a/img405/9548/extendedxswitchwire.jpg" alt="http://imageshack.us/a/img405/9548/extendedxswitchwire.jpg" /></span></a></p><p>Secondly, the wiring on the back of the unit is a trainwreck. I used some tape to group wires going to/from similar locations together. It&#039;s still not pretty but it&#039;s a hell of a lot neater. This will help with coming up with an electronics cover design (if Solidoodle don&#039;t release the official STL which it looks like they won&#039;t).</p><p><a href="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/803/electronicstidyup.jpg/"><span class="postimg"><img src="http://imageshack.us/a/img803/9906/electronicstidyup.jpg" alt="http://imageshack.us/a/img803/9906/electronicstidyup.jpg" /></span></a></p>]]></content>
