Last crawled date: 6 years, 1 month ago
Fusion 360 files included
3018 CNC Short Limit Mount - Print 3
3018 CNC Long Limit Mount - Print 1 (used on the X axis side with the lovejoy)
I printed them on their side using a raft and supports! 2h49m 25% infill PLA
Included hardware was used to secure them to the extrusion and stainless steel nut and bolt to mount the limit switches. Stainless was not needed but my local hardware store only had that tiny of a bolt in stainless. was about 6 bucks.. Highway robbery!

Due to the slight variations in the machines being sold that design allowed the bed to come a little to close for comfort in my opinion. They were a little weak as well considering one of the mounts is front and center of the machine and prone to be bumped.
Please feel free to edit and distribute as you feel fit.
I do not have the Z-axis sorted out yet but I am using the 500w spnidle. When I do have it sorted it will be included here. I am going to try and make it universal for both a modified spindle mount and OEM! I have not found an existing version of the Z I like because I am not comfortable with using super glue to secure the switches.
Limit Switches used!

I did not place limits holes in the model incase you wanted to use a different type yourself. Personally I just heated a nail up and pushed it through right where I wanted the holes.
X-Y will work with this type of limit as well..https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01I1E84SG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I just prefer the wheels when possible..
Recomendations:
I recomend you print the file named "Limit Switch Mounts Pair" and test fit it to your machine to see if any changes need to be made to the included Fusion 360 files.
