The New Hotness

  • 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!
