V-Core Endstop Mount for X Carriage

thingiverse

This is a mount for attaching a micro switch, such as [this one from E3D](https://e3d-online.com/endstop-microswitch-with-1-7m-cable), to the hotend carriage of a V-Core 2.0 printer. The length of this part ensures that the Z probe just clears the right-hand Z lead screw when the hotend carriage is at its maximum X position. If not careful, you might rip off your Z probe bumping into the lead screw. Don't ask me how I know this :-(. Mounting the switch to the hotend carriage instead of to the end of the X gantry simplifies cable management since there are cables running from the hotend carriage anyway. Mounting it to the frame would require more finesse in the homing procedure so we don't run into the switch sideways, thus I decide to mount it on the hotend. With my V-Core kit, the two screws at the top of the hotend carriage were long enough so that I could reuse them when attaching this part. Otherwise, you might have to use slightly longer screws. The gap in the reinforcement rib at the top allows me to get to the eccentric spacer of the hotend assembly with a wrench. This model can be found in my slightly messy [Onshape document](https://cad.onshape.com/documents/2066130d352aef5c8a0d0f15/w/38ab78efd0d6c0145f5f754b/e/ac70176d28ae48e3ca2df048) with my V-Core additions.
