Folger Tech FT-5 adjustable Z endstop mounts
Description
I Wasn'T Happy (Like Many People) With The Z-Stop Mount That Comes With The Printer. I Felt It Was Flimsy, Easily Out Of Alignment, And Hard To Accurately Adjust. I Played Around With An Inductive Sensor, But Had Reliability Issues, Which Is Really Bad For A Z-Stop.. So I Decided To Simplify. After Searching Around, I Couldn'T Find What I Wanted, So I Did What Any Sensible Person Does: Roll My Own :). The Three Sets Of Parts Are A Z-Stop Mount For The Z-Endstop, A Bracket To Which A Screw And Some Nuts Are Attached For Adjustment, And A Cap To Make For A Bigger Target (Optional, But I Use It). Left And Right Versions Are Included (And Marked With An "L" Or "R"). For Each Side, You Just Need 2X M5 Bolts And T-Nuts For The Top Bracket, An M3 X 50Mm Or So Bolt For The Adjustable Screw, One M3 Nyloc, And One Regular M3 Nut. This Will Work With A Stock Hotend, And, If Using A Suitable Longer Adjustment Screw, Also With Hotends That Protrude Further Into The Build Area. *Update 3/18/2017*: I Switched My Printer To A Dual-Z Stop Setup, So I Also Made A Left-Side Version And Included It Here.
