BLV mgn12 AM8 Z RAMPS endstop fine adjust

thingiverse

Update (6/24/2019): New versions of the z lead screw holder are added. They were made from modifying .step files from BLV in Solidworks, so they are no longer janky. An experimental z endstop mount is also added (first version did not work, two alternatives were added). Update (5/29/2019): V2 of the Z motor mount is added. This moves the endstop forward, making it more in line with the whole thing. It should make the trigger piece irrelevant and allow for a small circular trigger and overall desired performance. The part has been printed but not tested yet. Yes, it's a disgusting mess after being ripped apart and stitched together poorly in 3D Builder. Update (5/24/2019): Endstop trigger is added. Everything works as intended, but the trigger needs to be angled a certain way, and the original design is a bit too loose for my liking. But it works. Maybe next I will look into making a circular trigger that will not depend on alignment. I really suck at CAD. A Z endstop mount was designed that works similar to BLV's original intent, but with the RAMPS style endstop. It turns out someone else has made one that allows for fine adjustment, similar to the one I had on my original AM8. But they designed it for use with a longer 2020 extrusion on the x axis. So two designs were slapped together in an aggressively ugly fashion. SolidWorks tried to clean up the mess, but it just yelled at my incompetence. Microsoft 3D Builder allowed the two files to be smashed together easily, but damn is it ugly. The motor mount was remixed, no clue if it will fit. I hope so! The switch mount was reversed and moved inward a bit more. A wheel like in that guy's pics needs to be printed. I'll be trying out thing:1404339. This design is untested, I'm hoping it will function exactly the same as the original.
