    I don't know if anyone has already made one of these but here is a small mod I made for the bolt for the Z end stop. It's just a little foot pad that makes it so you will contact the switch farther out. I just used the bolt itself to tap the plastic. Also I added some teflon tape to the bolt before I reinstalled it because it was a bit wobbly. It's pretty solid now and easy to adjust.

    Just to clarify, I put Teflon tape around the portion of the bolt that's in the black plastic. It's not needed for the foot pad.

    I was using a bootstrapped version of what you created made out of electrical tape haha. I am wondering now though if this would take away some of the sensitivity out of the setup. Anyone else want to chime in? I'll print it today and try it out, thanks man!
