Folger Tech 2020 Limit Switch Mount Replacement

Replacement for supplied Folger Tech Limit Switch Mounts. After sitting for 6 months, when I went to use my printer, I found all 3 mounts were split due to over-stressing the plastic and switches not staying in place. Not seeing the files readily available and seeing room for improvement, I quickly cobbled up these parts. The original parts were long with numerous holes and the switch was often mounted out significantly away from the rail. This causes a long moment arm and requires more torque on the screws to hold in place. These mounts center the switch directly over the rail making for a shorter more solid mount. Screws are mounted on either side of switch/rail. Hex recesses were added to hold nut in place for easier assembly. Maybe later, I'll modify one to add adjustment to the z travel as that is most crucial. Update. Finally created the z axis adjustment found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3490367
