MakerSlide microswitch mount

Simple mounting microswitch to makerslide. (could be used for any 20mm extrusion) Microswitch snaps into this holder. (could also use hot glue for added security) The base is just high enough for the switch to clear the V in the makerslide. Not quite symmetric as one side has a cutout for terminal clearance. Thing has holes for two 5mm low clearance bolts, but I found one to be sufficient. I considered designing with an adjustment screw but found I can position the switch to trigger with enough resolution simply using the bolt and t-nut sliding in the extrusion.

How I Designed This

I made some simple measurements of the Temco microswitch and designed in Openscad. Design allows the microswitch to be positioned so arm lines up with the carriage.
