A bracket to drop and "bury" the X axis microswitch, thereby freeing up Z axis space (when drag cable is also moved), physically protecting the switch, and making the top prettier!
This is part of a bigger project to build an all-encompassing case for the entire extruder head which will:
be neat;
hide all cabling;
integrate a cooling system / fan;
align the drag cable in the horizontal plane;
look nice... :-)
The photos show...
Parts required: a spring plus the original microswitch, and M3 bolt;
Partial assembly, I used one of the M2 bolts to illustrate how it could be fitted;
Sub-assembly, ready to go into printer;
Watch it work here... https://youtu.be/I_ggdAgJ604
PS, vibration will probably cause the plunger to fall out!!! But the case (when designed) will retain it...
