* (Endstop-switch-based homing option only - recommended)
* Cut two 60mm wires and strip one end of each.
* Solder and heatshrink both wires to the switch.
* These wires connect the endstop switch to the Maxwell coupling pins. The endstop is wired in series with the Z probe circuit.
* Alternative: connect the endstop directly to any available endstop pin on your mainboard.
* (Sensorless homing option only)
* Cut and strip both ends on one 60mm wire.
* Add pins

* (Sensored homing only)
* The orientation of the switch (plunger up, or plunger down?) will depend on the printer type.
* Secure the endstop switch with two M2 self-tapping screws; fully tighten them, but be careful not to overtighten.
* Wire routing: Feed the two wires from the endstop switch down to the Maxwell coupling pins at the bottom of the carriage. One wire connects to each metal pin.

* Add electrical-wire connections
* For the carriage, you'll be connecting either: (a) endstop switch wires (sensored homing), or (b) a single jumper wire (sensorless homing).
* Slip an M3 shim in from the bottom.
* Push a shiny metal FHCS through the washer, so the washer stays in place.
* Push wire into place. No wire insulation should overlap the washer and nut. You want a solid connection, so try to bend the wire around the screw before the nut comes in.

* Trim one wire side slightly shorter, and feed it straight down, through the vertical slot, to where it can enter the screw/nut area.
* Route the other end of the wire through the 3 tunnels. Adjust the length of the short or long wire to match; both should just touch the bottom brace.
* Strip both wire ends 6-8mm, or whatever length works best for your crimp terminals. Need more length? Pull it through. Excess may be taken up at the toolhead.

* Add electrical-wire connections
* Using the crimp tool, crimp the ring terminals to the wires.
* Put the crimps in place, with the thick part facing into the cutout, and for each, add the M3x8 BHCS-nut assembly and fully tighten.
