Endstops, Makerbot-style.
The Delta-Pi was designed to use plain mechanical micro switches as endstops, but nowadays a mechanical micro switch costs practically the same as a Makerbot-style mechanical endstop with cable and connectors, which I also use on the P3Steel. The main advantage of the Makerbot-style mechanical endstop is that it includes an LED that lights up when the endstop is triggered. The sole disadvantage I can think of is that it requires three wires (+5V, Ground and Signal), but since they come with a cable, that is a moot issue. Consequently, I re-redesigned the Delta-Pi top clamp:
