Customizable X-Axis Endstop Mount What is this? An OpenSCAD version of the x-axis endstop mount for the Smooth X-Axis for Prusa i3 with Leadscrews by MazaaFIN with customizable length. Why did I create this? I own an Anet A8 printer and upgraded all the x-axis parts to the ones supplied by MazaaFIN in his Smooth X-Axis for Prusa i3 with Leadscrews thing. With one exception: I use a different extruder carriage and ran into the problem that due to other parts mounted on the extruder, the carriage couldn't reach the endstop anymore before slamming into my leadscrew. The original endstop with its 19mm length is just a few millimeters too short, so I recreated the endstop in OpenSCAD and made its length customizable. How do I print my own, customized version? The provided STL file has a 24mm length (which is what I needed), but you can easily create your own custom version of it by modifying the endstopLength variable at the top of the OpenSCAD file, render it and then export it to STL. Just don't set the length to a value lower than 17mm, otherwise crazy things will happen. I added two small support structures directly in the file to make things easier. You will need to cut that away later or you can disable support generation in the SCAD file by setting generateSupports = false. You will then need to generate your own supports in your slicer. Acknowledgements MazaaFIN for the original endstop Print Settings Printer: Prusa i3 MK2 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 15% cubic Notes: You don't need to generate supports in your slicer when using the generated support from the SCAD file. When you disable these supports, you will need to generate them yourself. Printed in Hatchbox PETG at 240°C and 70°C heated bed. Speed was 50mm/s.
