Trouble finding the micro limit switch

[Camryn Martin]

Hi! I am hoping to construct the CrowBox at my workplace and am trying to get an estimate of cost. The materials list says to get the specific black and white micro limit switch, but it is no longer available on amazon. Does anyone know of an alternative on amazon I can get? I can't really find any that look exactly correct and don't want to buy the wrong thing.

I used these below. They're not micro, but they fit the cutout. The exception is only one screw hole lined up, so I applied a little cement to tack it in place. There's enough friction that it stays in place. The plus is I don't need the rubber band on the back, these switches have enough spring back to push the platform back up.

Camryn,

I have several extra switches from earlier this year as I could only buy 50+ at a time. I would be happy to mail you 2 or 3 if you want to send me your mailing address. All I ask in return is that you promise to finish the build and post pictures once it’s working.

Best regards,

Derek

Nice! Really appreciate that Derek. I'm trying to get a supply list together so that I can try to get budget approval, so fingers crossed! Will let you know if everything lines up. And will definitely post pictures ;)

I've run into the same issue, I ordered parts for 5 boxes.  I built the first structure, now I'm working on the electronics.  The limit switches we purchased similar to the ones in the amazon link, because we couldn't find the black and white ones.  The switches we have have the blades so wires can't connect to them, but could be soldered (i think) still.  Will they still fit where they are supposed to be mounted, or do I need to find different switches?

I'm away from my own kit; can anyone validate that these will/won't work?
