X endstop trigger for FFCP when printing without right extruder

thingiverse

When printing with one nozzle on the Flashforge Creator Pro or similar printers with two extruders on the same carriage (e.g., the Dreamer or QIDI Tech 1), you can significantly improve print quality by removing the unused heavy extruder stepper motor. This move reduces the weight of the carriage, minimizing ringing and ripple artifacts on your print. Additionally, unscrew the unused nozzle to prevent it from bumping into parts of the print. Removing the right stepper is much easier, so single extrusion prints are typically done with the left extruder in place. However, the right stepper motor also triggers the X endstop, so if you remove it, you'll need a replacement. I recommend using the [dummy stepper](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2251192) by race12001, but it's still too large. Therefore, I created this more minimalist version that is just large enough to trigger the switch and can be easily mounted with the same screws as the stepper. I provide two versions of this part: one with 5x5 mm M3 brass inserts and another with direct holes. Brass inserts are recommended for added stability, but threading screws directly into the holes should also work – although there's a risk of stripping them if you regularly mount and unmount this part.
