3D model description

Oh no! My HEVO X-gantry is fully assembled and I forgot to put on the optical endstop flag! I don't want to deal with disassembling the whole entire thing because that takes forever and is annoying! And my 10mm larger diameter rods don't fit the default one and have no clearance between the bottom of the rod and the top of the Y carriage!

Worry no more, friend, for I have a solution.
2-part endstop flag lets you slip the bottom part in under the rod, and bolt on from above. One for 8mm rods, one for 10mm rods.

Mostly untested, but I'll be fixing that Monday.

Updates
Alright so it's now Tuesday evening and I've found out I am a colossal dumb.
Updated model to use thinner flags so you can actually get screws into the top part without breaking things.

Update - Added two additional versions, identical to the original except that instead of an M3 nut capture point, it's got a couple holes for brass threaded inserts. Also I've fixed how shallow the nut sockets were, although the end result is very thin walls so you don't want to over-tighten these. Granted, they're optical endstop flags so they don't NEED to be super tight, but I know how y'all nerds are with making things hyper-secure.
