FT-5 Adjustable Z Endstop

thingiverse

No drilling of your melamine parts are required for this model, it used an otherwise unused CNC mounting hole for the adjustment bolt. This is an adjustable z axis end stop modification for the Folgertech FT-5. The large end stop piece is secured by 2 bolts on the Y axis cable chain mount, and 1-2 bolts around one of the z axis smooth rods depending on the model you download. This piece is rock solid when installed. Note - You will need to swap the shorter bolts from the cable chain mount with the longer bolts used to secure the z axis switch. Adjustment bolt assembly from bottom to top... M3 40mm bolt (Shorter may work) 2mm Printed Washer Spring (I used one from a click pen) 2mm Washer Insert (Insert facing up) *Insert through underside of unused CNC mounting hole Nut Capture M3 Nut Bolt Foot If you have any questions or suggestions for improvements please let me know. Happy printing! *Update 01/26/17 - Some people have had problems with fitment using the stock FT-5 X carriage and hot end. I redesigned the mount and there are now 2 models available (Stock and E3D V6). Both of these designs should now work with the stock X carriage, just choose which model to download based on your hot end. Thank you for your suggestions on improvements.
