3D model description

Only 1 new screw!
I was not satisfied with the adjustable Z-endstop mounting options for the Ender 3 Pro. Most didn't have a secure mounting point and/or weren't as fine adjustment as I would prefer.

I have been using this https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2816718 on my CR-10S and it works great but cannot be used on the Ender because of the differences between the y-axis motor mounting standoffs. This is where all of the other required files are for a full assembly!

I went about incorporating the standoffs into the cover so I could re-use the original screws. However, I added a tab to be able to thread an M3 screw for adjustment when I change buildplates. The one that inspired me calls for M3 x 30mm LG screw, instead I used the M3x20mm male x female adapter and the longest M3 screw I had https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2804710 I superglued the pentagon to the adapter and then the screw to the adapter/standoff (AFTER threading the screw into the piece I designed here)

Print orientation should be standoff legs perpendicular to the bed. The supports should go to the hidden face, although you can use it as-shown, you just have a lot more supports to clean up, and risk snapping the standoffs.

Unsure as to how to make this load in the correct orientation. I would love to know how to fix this if someone else would like to enlighten me.

3D printing settings

0.2mm layer height or better
Infill as you see necessary but this isn't going to see any real sort of loading. I would go with a few walls/perimeters so the bolts have solid standoffs for the y-motor

Printed with Sunlu Blue PETG, standoff is Stronghero Black PETG
all Purple shown is Colorme3d Minnesota Purple Haze PETG (which I hope will someday be available again)
