How to adjust X-Axis stop

recently I noticed that my X-Axis stop must be out of adjustment because when my printer starts a new job and it goes over to release some of the filament it is now ejecting it directly onto the glass, verses just over the edge. ( so in other words it needs to be shifted over about 1/16" )

How do I make the adjustment on the machine ?

Not sure if I loosen up the screws that hold the micro-switch.... or if I need to move the plastic stop that actually makes contact with that switch.

Thanks for your help...

Kent

Just a follow up.... I just took another look at my machine and it looks like the whole extruder motor has slipped a bit in the holder.... so the extruder is sitting at a slight angle....

I had a print come loose from the bed yesterday during printing, so I'm guessing it caused this.

So it looks like I just need to get my extruder motor lined up strait up and down and I should be good to go.

Might just want to check to make sure the motor mount wasn't cracked. ;)

Yep.... great advice....

I checked mine and there was a hairline crack.... so I'm going to swap it out ( Luckily I printed one out to have on hand ) :D
