At first, the DSH had no issues switching from one head to the other. After finishing the setup, however, it now has trouble completing the switch in either direction. I’ve also noticed that the servo motor gets quite hot. Not painful to the touch, but pretty close. Is it possible that the servo should be on only for switching sides and then be disabled in order to keep it cool? The shape of the rotator seems like it will hold the end steady. Alternatively, is it possible I got a bad servo? I’ve tried to reduce the resistance by bending wires and such, but it doesn’t seem to help at this point.
I’d also like the .stl for this part. I need to redo the brass thread portion, but I might need to tighten up the hole a little to make sure it really bites.
The kit I received did not include a connector on the thermistor wires. I was able to crimp my own. I’ll update if there are any technical issues later on.
I also tried M3 x8mm and they were too short still (not able to engage nylon in nylock nut). 10mm is probably adequate, but I’ve used 12mm because that’s what I had available. So far so good.

The Makertech Cura profiles should be in a .zip. Much easier to download and reproduce file structure than doing it manually….

I think the M4 10mm threaded spacers aren’t in the kit. I’ve only found M3 and M2.5 ones.
Also requires 4x brass stand-offs (as per second picture).
