Description

Instead of using an ice cream stick, i printed my own custom stoppers! Can be used for either left or right stopper, tested on a generation 9 makerbot.

nope only white (looks better!). i did color one end black but that didn't help either, so the silver foil saved the day.

Did you print with black ABS? The other plastics might be semi-transparent to the sensor's infrared.

Instructions

Strangely they don't trigger the stoppers unless i put a strip of aluminum foil on the ends (ended up gluing the aluminum down).
