Vertical X Axis bracket remix

thingiverse

This is a remix of an excellent design by IamSly, modified to relocate the Ender 5 X axis micro switch to a vertical position and operate off the HotEnd Bracket rather than guide wheels. Visit https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3609543 for the original design. I printed the original but chose not to bend the micro switch lever as suggested. Instead, I discovered that even slight contact between the bracket holding the hot end and the printed bracket caused it to twist on its screw axis unless tightened extremely securely - tighter than I wanted to apply with PLA. To resolve this issue, I measured the proper positioning of the new design in situ to ensure no overhang of the bracket beyond the edge of the aluminum rail (which was 1.1mm). I then added a lip of approximately 4x4x20mm on the edge using Tinkercad and printed it again. See photos for results. The modified design is now perfectly positioned and cannot twist on the bolt head axis anymore. Since making this change, I've taken the plunge and bent the switch lever as far as I dared.
