X-Endstop for FolgerTech 2020 Prusa i3

thingiverse

This is a replacement for the X-Endstop mount that comes with the FolgerTech 2020 Prusa i3 printer, making adjustments as needed to improve its alignment. The original design was prone to being knocked out of place, resulting in missed switch activation and impacts between the print head and idler during homing sequences. Clefranc's endstop mount (available at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:85368) was particularly well-liked for its ease of use, but it did not align properly with the FolgerTech X-carriage and required a modified design. To address this issue, two key changes were implemented in the new design: 1) The switch mount was relocated to ensure proper alignment with the FolgerTech endstop switch on the X-carriage. 2) A cutout was added for the X-belt tensioner included in wderoxas's X-idler design (found at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:936464). Note that this endstop mount was designed to be mounted on the left side of the printer, contrary to its default position on the right side with FolgerTech.
