MakerGear M2 Z-axis Home Switch spacer to prevent drift of Z-home

thingiverse

I noticed that my Z-axis was wandering a bit after 5 or 10 prints. The distance between the nozzle and the bed was closing-up. This would lead to tears in my tape or vinyl. After investigating a little, I discovered that every time the Z-axis homed, the switch was moving ever so slightly up the linear rail from being bumped during the homing process. I tightened the screws some more, but it still tended to drift, so I made this. Loosen the screws that hold the Z-home switch, slide it down a little. Clip this thing above it. Slide the switch up until it bottoms out against the spacer, then tighten the screws and readjust your Z-axis home for probably the last time ever. NOTE: This is for MakerGear M2 printers with the V3b extruder. The newer V4 equipped printers have a new home switch design which solves this problem in a similar way.
