Improved Low-profile Endstop Holder

thingiverse

This design is based on an existing endstop holder found at Thingiverse.com, specifically under thing ID 919432. Several key improvements have been implemented:\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>The entire endstop holder has been lengthened to prevent any unwanted play.</li>\r\n<li>A rounded profile has been added to ensure a snug fit onto the smooth rod.</li>\r\n<li>Optional captive nut traps are now available for increased stability.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\nThese modifications were necessitated by an issue noticed on my y-axis, which kept crashing into the end due to the original design being excessively loose.\r\n\r\nM3x16 bolts paired with M3 nylock nuts are recommended. Normal M3 nuts and longer bolts can also be used with satisfactory results.\r\n\r\nIt's essential to note that the tighter fit of this new design requires a considerable amount of force when initially installing it. However, the plastic becomes more pliable over time as you repeatedly install and remove the endstop holder.
