Creating the microswitch bracket

Now that I have a 3D printer and am better at CAD I can draw things up and print them.

This is what I have done for a bracket to hold the micro switch to the millimetre above the end of the platform. The bracket has to reach over the top of the drawer runners too.

Below is the CAD drawing…

Here it is with the microswitch attached. The holes were so good, I don’t even need to put nuts on the back of the bolts, screws into the bracket just fine without.
