I have my printer built,the controller mounted, and most of the wiring done. But what I found that I still need are the end stop switch mounts. I was making some when I realized that they need to be adjustable and mine weren't. I saw some on this tutorial that are just what I need But I haven't been able to find a file where they can be printed. So I have 2 questions. Does anyone know where I can find these parts for printing and can someone print them for me? I would like them printed in red because the rest of my printed parts are printed in red. And I do want to thank all the guys that have helped me already. I have learned a lot and will continue learning and contributing to the hive.

I didn't find the files for the parts I needed so I created my own. So here are the parts that I designed. Would someone have the time to print these for me? Please post a reply because I don't need three different people printing these parts. Thanks.
I somehow (I know exactly how) blew the FET between my auto-leveling sensor and the micro. I'm gonna replace it with a way more robust BJT. Hopefully I'll be back up and running soon.

Thanks for the parts, Mike. After making a few changes the printer now moves right and left, forward and backward, and up and down and knows how to return home. The problem I had with the Z axis was the speed was set too high and the steppers couldn't turn that fast so just sat there and buzzed. I dropped the speed down and it worked fine. I also had a problem with getting a good contact on the end stop switches. I plan to hot melt glue the connector to keep it connected properly. So that should make everything work reliably. I also had to swap out my USB cable. I had some problems that were fixed by using a new cable. Thanks everyone for the support and I am sorry I needed to ask for so much help.
