I made this to hold endstop microswitches for homing the LowRider2 Y axis (parallel to the long table edge).  The switch bracket is intended to be positioned on the outside and angled side of the Y plate (to keep wiring away from belts) and secured with CA glue (superglue).  It will slide up and down the angle of the Y plate so you can choose the height at which to mount.  You could also mount it to the inside of the Y-plate but that was not my intention even though it is possible (just be sure to clear the beltstop if mounting on the inside of the Y plate).

I included the endstop mount and its mirrored version in the same stl file.  One mount is used per Y plate.  The switch lever can go either way as long as the switch obstruction is in the right spot to engage the switch lever.

There is a bump-out where the switch mounts so there is more clearance for the wires. I left surface area for CA gluing the mount to my printed Y plate's outside surface and angled edge.

The switch mounts to the bracket using two M2x16mm screws without M2 nuts although longer screws could work with a nut if desired.  M2 screws can be used to self tap the holes prior to mounting the switches.

I also added stops with an optional adjustable M5 screw added to hit the endstop switches.  It is designed to be added (superglued) to https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4552761 aligned toward the ends closest to the short ends of the table.  I decided to glue on the parts flush with the bottom of the beltstop.

Enjoy!
