Z axis adjustable endstop - Prusa i3

pinshape

This endstop is designed to seamlessly integrate with the Z axis on Prusa i3 without compromising its mechanical structure in any way. Simply attach and adjust as needed. It consists of two primary components: a support clamp attached to the left vertical smooth rod that securely holds the microswitch, and a bracket that secures the adjustable plate attached to the free threaded hole of the X axis stepper motor. In creating this endstop, I took into account the metal nuts bonded within a plastic shell. To assemble it correctly, pause the printing at the last exposed layer, manually insert the nuts as shown in the accompanying picture, and then resume printing. Due to difficulties in sourcing M2.5 screws, I slightly enlarged the diameters of the endstop to accommodate the use of M3 screws instead.
