Ender 3 Y-Axis Offset Sensor Bracket

thingiverse

Bracket for the Creality Ender 3 which offsets the y-axis limit switch forward to account for reduced travel due to stepper motor dampers. This bracket uses standard hardware to attach to the y-axis aluminum. I opted to use two holes instead of a slot like other designs, as I found that the slot was flexing enough to allow the attachment to loosen and wear down after repeated use. Note: The circuit board attachment holes are currently undersized and do not print with threads. I encountered trouble getting them to model properly, so I recommend cutting the threads by screwing one of the original screws into the holes before attempting installation. This is my first polished part that I've gotten as far as publishing - feel free to comment with suggestions about the part or the information provided with it! There are a few pre-existing designs on Thingiverse which were just shy of far enough forward for the dampers I installed, but may be a better fit for your setup: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2879245 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3003673 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3012178 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3016475 The model can be exported from Onshape in various formats for alteration or remix: **EDIT:** I realized that an account is required to view on OnShape, even though it's free. I added exported STEP and IGES model files for easier use without needing to create any additional accounts outside Thingiverse. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/66998c619eccef7f835df222/w/3b1684792db651c9d9520251/e/b936ad2bbd9fbac9f49d1aea
