prusaprinters

<p>This is a small endstop mount made specifically for this switch (sells dirt cheap on ebay). You need a switch, 1 mount (you print in favorite color), 2 - M3 Nuts, 1 - M3x10mm, 1 - M3x12mm and 1 -M3x20mm.</p> <p>Assembly is easy. See instructions for more info</p> <h3>Instructions</h3> <p>The 20mm M3 is used to secure the plastic mount to the 8mm rod, use a nut and just snug up, no need to use a lot of force.</p> <p>The 12mm M3 goes in the center hole of the plastic mount(part you print) and is secured by the recessed nut.</p> <p>The 10mm M3 is used on the front of the switch and it self taps in the plastic.</p> <p>You should ream the 8mm hole (5/16 bit) works nicely. Then ream the holes that go all the way thru, using a 1/8 bit. The 3rd hole that does not go thru, does not need reaming, and the M3 will self tap.</p> <p>You should use a 1/8 bit on the switch itself. Carefully, there is enough clearance, but nice and slow by hand.</p> <p>Sketchup file here if you want to mod. The stl has already been run thru netfab!</p> <p>Enjoy!</p> Category: 3D Printer Parts
