Ender 3 Y end stop sensor bracket

thingiverse

This is a basic plate for mounting the y end stop sensor. It allows mounting of the stepper motor from the other side, which enables use of a stepper motor damper to quiet the printer. (Using my other mounting: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3680004). Yes, at V3. I learned some things along the way (obvious things really, just did not think enough when I started): 1. The troughs are actually needed. I printed one without troughs first without inspecting the PCB close enough, as its through hole it needs those spaces for the solder joints. 2. Mirroring the trough placement when you are flipping the part over is harder than it first appears. 3. It needs to be higher because its flipped over the switch arm runs the other way. The part is designed to use a captive m3 nut for pcb board mounting. It uses the standard m4 bolts that come off the stock y sensor mount plate. The captive nut is designed for a tight fit, using a hammer to tap them into place may be needed. Parts needed: - (2) 20 mm M4 bolts (Ones off the factory mount plate can be used) - (2) M3 nuts - (2) M3 bolts around 8-15mm (I used ones from the stepper motor as I am mounting it differently and no longer needed the same size) Tools needed: - Alan keys (ones that come with Ender3, or I also use a Metric Hex Driver Bit Set) - Hammer may be needed to tap captive nuts into place Parameters allow you to select right or left side holes and troughs PCB board mounting. It uses the standard m4 bolts that come off the stock y sensor mount plate. For longer m3 bolts I use this set. Only issue with it is it does not come with any nuts. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B072F5WF4T/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1792&creative=8170&creativeASIN=B072F5WF4T&linkCode=am2&tag=kprint320-20&linkId=b41f1c6b9e88d2db7f71d3a23f35bf14">100 Pcs M3 x 30mm/35mm/40mm/45mm/50mm 12.9 Grade Alloy Steel Hex Socket Head Cap Screws Assortment, Black Oxide Finish</a> I use this set of hex bits to allow me to use my electric screwdriver. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FA4RI9W/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1792&creative=8170&creativeASIN=B00FA4RI9W&linkCode=as2&tag=kprint320-20&linkId=f5d7c5f6bdf45a1f9ec3e9c0cd0a02d9">9-Piece Metric Hex Driver Bit Set</a>
