Made a new bracket for the homesensor pcb, I bought it from reprapworld.

I needed to paint it black , the light barrier shin through the plastic. Now it's working perfect!

Woah! That looks amazing! That painting... I didn't said that? I'll check it, I had to do the same (i had big issues trying to work with IR through red printed pieces...
Have you modified the sensor holder piece? I'll check that sensor!

Regards!

How did you montage that motor? If I understand the drawing then there are holes in the plastic but that would mean that I have to remove the stepper motor screws first thus taking apart the motor. Is there a soulution to not have to take appart and reassemble the motor?

Yes, you have to unscrew the motor screws, the motor is not falling apart, you need extra long screws. Did you order all the screws from the spare part list? You really need them. You could make a feed to bring in the motor, I like it this way :)

I am still waiting for my long list of 5 Packages that has not arrived yet. It has been 2 weeks now. One was cancelled with the big ball bearing as undeliverable.
