1x Set of printer parts

Some short pieces of wire

The most interesting of this mod is that you do not have to modify at all any part of your 3D printer...you only have to add this mod, and you'll enjoy the auto power off system.

When the Z axis reaches the top of the 3D printer, a gcode is sent to switch off the motors to get an smooth power off of the machine, because there are 2 or 3 seconds between the moment that the switch is activated and the printer shutdown.

Although I have tested this mod, and it works perfectly, I'm not responsable for any damage that this modification may cause to your 3D printer or other things.
Use this upgrade under your responsability.

To make it work, you have to add this little piece of gcode in your end gcode in your slicer program (slic3r, simplify3D, Cura, Repetier,etc):

;----------------------------------------
;End GCODE Script

M104 S0 ; turn off extruder
M140 S0 ; turn off bed
M107 ; Turn off fan
G91 ; Relative positioning
G1 E-3 ; Reduce filament pressure
G90 ; Absolute positioning
G92 E0 ; Reset extruder position
G1 X0 Y200 Z239 ; Get extruder out of way
M84 ; disable motors
;----------------------------------------

Modify the Z value to get the better results in your printer depending of your Z length.

The interruptor located next to the power cord connector serves to activate or deactivate the auto power off system, maintaining the printer always on or not.
