Limit switch curved

[puremoco.com 0]

Hello,

I have received my Ultimaker 2 yesterday. I have also done some printed, without noticeable problems.

After having a closer look to the parts, I have seen, that one of the limit switches is curved.

 

Is this normal or should the switch be straight like the other one? I have also noticed, that the print head (fan) is coming really close to the left housing plate while homing, maybe also touching it sometimes.

 

Should I bend the limit switch straight or is this on purpose?

If you bend it straight, the head will come even closer to the left side of the machine, so no, don't do that

I think it was bent like that on purpose so the head wouldn't hit the left side. Every machine is slightly different though.

If it *is* touching left side you can either bend switch a little bit more or maybe bend the fan shroud in a bit if not symmetrical.
