Orion limit switch replacement

[WildLinx]

Hello,
I just received my Orion last night. This my 1st venture into 3D printing. I think the shipper bumped it pretty good because the glass plate was about ¼ inch off center and one of the actuators had been knocked off one of the limit switches and disappeared. The printer assembled with no difficulty but when I tried “home towers” it ran into the vertical Z-axis limits, shut of the steppers for the good switches and tried to beat the bad switch to death. After hearing the belt slip 4 or 5 pops, I turned the power off and manually lowered the assembly. A new switch is on the way.
I am competent to change the switch but my question is: Will I need to re-calibrate the Z-axis control system before I continue with the initial set-up or is the Orion smart enough to account for the “new” position of the cheapskate on the belt?
If I knew the Rambo control system, I’d also know if this is a stupid question but right now I’d like to play it safe and not break this beautiful little machine because of my ignorance.

There is a great calibration procedure written into the Orion Users Manual.
After replacing the switch, you should run the calibration procedure just to be sure everything
is calibrated once again.

I think I know what you are asking.. the way the machine works is not like a servo, so there is no feedback telling the machine where the motors are, so the jumping of it trying to home will not affect it at all, the machine resets when it homes, which is why we use endstops. After it hits the endstops that is telling the machine where it is, so no worries there.. if you have basic soldering skills, and a pair of needle nose pliers to hold the wires, changing the endstop is easy.. too bad you couldnt find the lever, as they just snap in and can be replaced...

So basically once you change the endstop, just follow the manual on setting z and calibration and you will be good to go! sorry about the shipping problem... hope you enjoy your machine!
