Some fixes to popular ender 3 switchwire conversions
Triano and DaRk_dOg have produced an Ender 3 switchwire conversion mod. I'vew found a few issues during construcion and I thought I'd share my fixes. I reccomend starting with rev2 of DaRk_dOg's mod.
Before attempting an Ender 3 to switchwire mod, check your frame is not bent. This will save you a lot of time later when things don't line up.

- Added XZ blocks based on Yenda's robust belt paths
-
- Added revised DaRk_dOg y cable chain mount that moves the mounting screw above the chain so mount can be removed with the chain in place. Y-chain-mount
-
-
- Updated Y motor mount for better clearances.
-
- Y_limit_switch
- Quick and dirty hack on Y limit switch for more travel into -Y so the very front of the bed can be probed.
- Y_limit_switch
-
- Reworked Y motor mod for 48mm steppers to work with pro and V2 with a spacer
- Added small bed knobs with 5 minute and 1 minute indents, edges of the large indents are 1 minute from the centre. Minutes here refer to clockface and not minutes of a degree.
-
- Added modified rear deck for Y motor mod. Compatible with V2 and Pro Y rail.

2 Fixed XZ blocks where the spacer isn't long enoughadded some 5mm ABS washers in case M5x35 BHCS aren't available- Added Y motor mount for V2 with the pulley reversed, so a 48mm stepper like an E3D High Torque can be used, or the voron spec LDOs of simialr specification and size.
