Sunhokey Prusa i3 Z end stop mount

thingiverse

I'm thrilled to introduce my latest creation - a brand new end stop mount for the z-axis! After growing tired of the original design, I decided to put my skills as a designer to good use and whip this one up. The holes are carefully crafted to be screwed into directly, eliminating the need for nuts altogether. It fits snugly against the acrylic case, keeping the end stop stable and secure. This 5-cent piece of plastic is all you'll ever need! I specifically designed it to accommodate the lowered height of the e3d V6 hot end. To keep the spring tight, I added a nut to the head of the actuator - and it works beautifully! The actuator itself measures in at m5 x 25. Post-Printing After your print is complete, be sure to run some screws into the holes first to create threads. Next, mount the end stop, followed by attaching it to your printer. Now, let's move on to setting it up! First, tighten down those bed springs until they're nice and snug. Then, level the bed using an actual level tool, taking care to base it off the lowest spring height. Move the z-axis to 0,0 and 0.1 above the bed, measuring with a gauge or paper as you go. Next, move the hot end to 190,0 and twist those guide rods on the right-hand side until the hot end comes down to 0.1 above the bed. This ensures the carriage is perfectly level with the bed. If your bed springs are particularly tight, you might find they don't tend to loosen up - and that's a good thing! You'll get extra height out of it too. Get the mount into rough position so that it's activated in its current spot. Then, home all axes, measure off 0,0 at 0.1 mm above the bed, and fiddle with that set screw on the x-axis until you get it just right. How I Designed This I used Fusion 360 to bring this design to life!
