Attach Home Switch to X-Carriage

Don’t forget to do this before you put the X-Carriage onto the makerslide rail!
If you ordered your kit with home switches, you’ll want to install the homing switch for the X-Carriage at this point. You’ll need 2x M2x14mm socket head cap screws, 2x M2 split ring washers, and a single microswitch from your kit. Put a split washer on each screw and insert them into the respective holes on the switch and X-Carriage.
The holes in the X-Carriage are tapped so you do not need to secure it with the M2x0.4 Hex Nut (25284-12) included in the kit. Remember to position the switch so that the roller actuator is facing down and to the outside.

NOTE: Make sure to position the protruding "split" of the split ring washer away from the plastic microswitch as that may cut into and damage the switch when tightened.
