Endstop holder - micro switch to 8mm smooth rod

thingiverse

The original G1 3D printer Mix model featured smaller endstop switches than the updated STL files. As a result, I designed my own switch holder to accommodate a 14mm-long micro switch with 7mm hole spacing, which is attached to an 8mm rod (either smooth or threaded). Please pardon my rudimentary FreeCAD skills; however, the part still functions effectively. To install the switch, secure it to the holder using two 2mm machine screws and appropriate nuts. You'll need to measure your specific switch to determine the correct screw length. Next, clip the switch holder with the attached switch onto the rod. Secure the holder to the rod with a #4 or 3mm machine screw, approximately 13mm in length, along with its nut. Button head screws work well since there is no countersinking required.
