A8 Plus Z-Axis Endstop Mount

thingiverse

I gambled on an EBay open box Anet A8 Plus for a really good price. Fortunately, the only missing items were the three end stop switches, their wiring, and the Z endstop mounting bracket. I ordered the three switches with wiring, which only cost me 8 bucks. I couldn't source the bracket for the Z axis mount, so I had to make something for that. I couldn't find any decent photo's to work from, but I discovered that Anet actually posted a video of a guy assembling one of these things. I was able to snap a couple of frames where the dude was attaching the Z end stop switch to the frame. From what I could tell in the video, the piece is stamped steel, with a 20x20 square and a 90 degree folded, somewhere about 10x20 that the switch attaches to. I modeled my bracket as such, and it works fine thus far. This is NOT an upgrade part for the Anet A8 Plus. I would definitely have preferred the original steel part. This model is simply me making my new printer work. I'm posting this model here in case somebody else has the misfortune of being shorted this part that does not appear available to buy, short of buying another Anet A8 Plus printer kit. :) If somebody has an Anet A8 Plus and cares to take measurements from the actual part, I wouldn't be opposed to correcting my model. Drop me a message if you've measured the actual part.
