MPCNC: Endstop Mount, Now With Recess

, , ,

There being nothing like a new problem to take your mind off all your old problems, now there’s a cable tie latch recess:

X min endstop - recessed cable tie latch
X min endstop – recessed cable tie latch

A sectioned view of the model shows the layout:

MPCNC MB Endstop Mount - latch recess
MPCNC MB Endstop Mount – latch recess

On the other side, a ramp helps bend the tie toward the MPCNC rail:

X min endstop - recessed strap
X min endstop – recessed strap

Which looks thusly in the realm of applied mathematics:

MPCNC MB Endstop Mount - strap recess
MPCNC MB Endstop Mount – strap recess

I’ll leave the OpenSCAD code to your imagination, because the endstop block turns out to be a bit small for the recesses. Eventually, they need a dust cover and some cleanup.

So, there!
