Z endstop wires - lengths

If I’m thinking ahead correctly, one set of Z endstop wires will be much much shorter than the other assuming I set the controller at one end of the LR or the other, right? How short is the short side going to be roughly? My tube length is 27" if that helps inform the answer.

Kelly,

It really depends on how long your struts are, and where on the back of the Gantry the control box is placed.

Tell us a little more about you planned build.

Sorry, I should have pulled the question. I was trying to be too “fancy” economizing the excess wire off cuts ; )

I THINK I’ve sussed out which side is which according to photos throughout the assembly guide so left the “far” side about a good foot or more longer than the tubes and the near side with what I’m sure will be plenty. Hoping to get to the “making robot noises” part of the assembly tonight or tomorrow. I’ll be sure to tag Ryan on YouTube.

Good luck getting to making those robot noises! Hope this wiring length info helps.
